The first meeting between Justin Gaethje and Luis Palomino was one of 2015’s most entertaining scraps. Now they’re going to get a chance to try and surpass the lofty standards they set in March.

A lightweight championship rematch between Gaethje and Palomino will serve as the main event for World Series of Fighting 23, which takes place at the Comerica Theatre in Phoenix on Sept. 18. In the evening’s co-headliner, David Branch will face Teddy Holder for the promotion’s inaugural light heavyweight crown.
