In the main event of WSOF 23, undefeated, reigning WSOF lightweight champion Justin "The Highlight" Gaethje (14-0) will collide for the second time with hard-hitting rival Luis "Baboon" Palomino (23-10). The first matchup, which headlined WSOF 19, was a barnburner affair that Gaethje won via third-round TKO, and that has already been touted as a "Fight of the Year" candidate. In the co-main event and inaugural WSOF light heavyweight championship bout, David Branch (16-3), the promotion's reigning middleweight champion, will attempt to become the first two-division kingpin in WSOF history when he faces off with Cinderella story Teddy Holder (9-1), whose nine career wins have all come by stoppage. Rounding out the card, rising star and costumed crime fighter Phoenix Jones (5-1-1) looks to return to the win column against boxer-turned-MMA upstart Roberto Yong (2-2), ferocious rising star Timur "Lucky" Valiev (9-1) battles seasoned puncher Tito Jones (11-7) and dangerous finisher Brian Foster (22-7) tackles undefeated LaRue Burley (6-0). The main event of RFA 30 sees Nebraska's own Anthony "Lionheart" Smith (22-11) tangle with fellow surging middleweight Brock Jardine (12-5), while Ryan "Are You Ready" Roberts (21-10-1) locks horns with Adam "Prime Time" Townsend (13-3), Darrick Minner (13-4) makes his fifth RFA appearance against Matt Brown (10-4), former RFA lightweight title challenger Zach Juusola (10-3) meets Robert Rojas (9-4) and undefeated welterweight Chance Rencountre (7-0) puts his perfect record on the line against fellow unbeaten prospect James Nakashima (3-0). At Enfusion Live 31, the -72.5 kg world championship is on the line when Spaniard Fran Palenzuela battles Turkey's Tayfun Ozcan, plus British banger Victoria Lomax takes on Spain's Estela Garcia in a -57 kg bout, Spain's Ruben Lee meets Portugal's Gil Silva in a -80 kg matchup, plus a one-night, single-elimination -70 kg tournament with Spain's Adam Martins facing France's Philippe Salmon and Colombia's Christopher Mena clashing with Thai veteran Beau Superpro Samui in semifinal pairings. M-1 Challenge 61: Battle of Narts 2 features Marcin Tybura (12-1) defending his M-1 Challenge heavyweight title against Ante "The Walking Trouble" Delija (14-2). In other action, former M-1 middleweight champion Magomed "The White Wolf" Sultanakhmedov (18-5) will look to return from a four-and-a-half-year hiatus to fight Brazilian veteran Carlos Pereira (36-10-1), Lithuanian star Sergej Grecicho (21-6) takes on undefeated Russian prospect Magomed Idrisov (5-0), Lom-Ali Nalgiev (3-3) meets Aleksandr Panasyuk (9-1) in a lightweight bout and Alexei Nevzorov (9-1) battles Antun Racic (17-6) in a featherweight tilt.
