Sweet and on my birthday too.

Thanks Ray!

Hope they find a good opponent for Aguilar. Would like to see Mike Russow against Odoms.

It'd be great if the rumored deal for them to broadcast on TSN in Canada comes to fruition.

Isn't Jadamba's career over?

Hopefully Huckaba and Mehmen get added so we can get a HW tournament started.

Awesome. Aguilar is a beast.

Russow vs Arlovski maybe?

Quite possible it depends how it goes for arlovski vs kraniotakes in Russia!

But there will be hw talent in the card for sure! Maybe Russow vs odoms cop vs cop fight

They also added Scott bear Barrett to their roster and huckaba says he is training at full throttle for a fight

World Series of Fighting 7's headlining bout between Mike Kyle and Anthony Johnson, set to take place on Dec. 7 in Vancouver, has been postponed due to an injury suffered by Kyle in training. The new date for the fight will be January 18, 2014, at a location that is still yet to be determined. WSOF 7's new main event will be Georgi Karakhanyan versus Lance Palmer for the inaugural featherweight title.

Even as the World Series of Fighting makes headway into the Canadian market this weekend with WSOF 7 in Vancouver, the promotion is already hard at work putting together its next card. That will happen on January 18, as WSOF 8 hits the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida to unveil its inaugural lightweight title.

WSOF president Ray Sefo told MMA Fighting that the main event will be a rematch between Gesias "JZ" Cavalcante and the undefeated Justin Gaethje, who first fought at WSOF 2 in Atlantic City. The first meeting ended abruptly when Cavalcante suffered a cut in the first round, giving Gaethje the victory. Since then Cavalcante scored a TKO victory over UFC vet Tyson Griffin, and Gaethje -- who is 3-0 in WSOF -- has finished both Brian Cobb and Dan Lauzon.

Another highlighted bout on the main card will be between Cavalcante's Blackzilians teammate Anthony Johnson and AKA's Mike Kyle. This marks the third time matchmaker Ali Abdel-Aziz has put the Johnson/Kyle fight together in a light heavyweight tilt. They were supposed to meet at WSOF 5 until Johnson suffered an injury, and then again at WSOF 7, which was postponed when Kyle broke his toe.

WSOF 8 will also mark the promotional debut of 22-year Cody Bollinger, who will take on bantamweight upstart Tyson Nam. Bollinger, a Bellator veteran, recently appeared as a cast member on The Ultimate Fighter 18, but was sent home for missing weight ahead of his fight with Anthony Gutierrez. Nam is coming off of a spectacular loss to Marlon Moraes WSOF 2, when he was knocked out with a head kick. He is still considered one of the more dangerous 135-pound fighters out there, having beat Eduardo Dantes at Shooto 33 in Brazil.

Tickets for WSOF 8 go on sale Friday.

Really good card, thus far. I was first unsure about having a JZ/Gaethje rematch so soon but I think its somewhat warranted.

Jz complained about the stoppage, Luis firmino vs nick Newell if he beats fadai this weekend should be the #1 contender fight

I think you can go ahead and give Firmino next shot. Id still like to see Newell grow as a fighter and think fights with Lauzon and Volkmann are still beneficial to him at this point in his career.

@BeastSports getting strong and ready for Jan 18. Could t do it without my BEAST supplements!! @MMAWorldSeries #blackzilians #wsof8
