World Series of Fighting bolstered its heavyweight division on Thursday, inking free agent heavy hitters Shawn Jordan and Lorenzo Hood to exclusive, multi-fight deals.
The signing of Jordan (18-7) is the more notable of the two. A 31-year-old former fullback for Louisiana State University's 2003 championship team, Jordan spent the past four years fighting under the UFC banner, racking up a 6-4 record with three performance bonuses. All six of Jordan's Octagon victories ended via knockout or TKO, including a memorable hook kick stoppage of top-15 ranked UFC contender Derrick Lewis.
After electing to fight out his UFC contract, Jordan rode a three-fight win streak into a pivotal bout against Ruslan Magomedov at UFC 192.
