WSOF today announced a change to one of its three WSOF 35 title fights as Donovan Frelow will fight Bekbulat Magomedov for the vacant bantamweight championship, replacing an injured Timur Valiev.
WSOF 35 takes place March 18 at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York, and can be seen live on NBC Sports Network at 11 p.m. ET, with prelims streaming before on MMAjunkie at 8 p.m.
Frelow (6-1), who will be fighting just one month removed from his last bout, is coming off a split-decision win over Zeke Enrique at Gladiator Challenge: Battle Cage after 16 months away from action. Frelow’s last WSOF contest came in October 2015 at WSOF 24, a unanimous decision loss to Magomed Bibulatov in for the inaugural flyweight championship.
Magomedov (17-1), meanwhile, is coming off a unanimous decision win over Jesse Brock at WSOF 33.
The finalized WSOF 35 card includes:
MAIN CARD (NBCSN, 11 p.m. ET)
