(November 19, 2015) – All eight lightweight (155 pounds) athletes competing in the inaugural World Series of Fighting (WSOF.com) one-night, eight-man tournament made weight one day before the historic affair at Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Friday, Nov. 20, live on NBCSN at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT. Additionally, all eight other fighters on the “WSOF 25: 8-Man Lightweight Tournament” card, including co-main event opponents Jason “The Kansas City Bandit” High and Estevan “El Terrible” Payan, made weight. High tipped the scales at 155.7 pounds, while Payan clocked in at 155.2 pounds. Brian Cobb and Benny Madrid, who had been slated for action in the tournament and a tournament reserve fight, respectively, were both rendered unable to compete in their scheduled commitments earlier today after becoming ill. Originally slated to face LaRue Burley (6-1) in reserve fight action, Joe Condon (12-8) will replace Cobb in the tournament and square off with Cobb’s scheduled opponent, Mike Ricci (10-4), in the quarterfinal stage of the event. Burley, meanwhile, will battle Ramil Mustapayev (3-1), who was originally slated to fight Madrid, in what will be the sole reserve bout of the night. The winner of the tournament, who will have fought three times tomorrow, will be named the new number one contender in the World Series of Fighting lightweight division, and will challenge undefeated, reigning champion Justin “The Highlight” Gaethje (14-0) for his title. The four-fight, live NBCSN telecast will include the two semifinal stage tournament bouts, the co-main event and the tournament’s championship round showdown.
