World Series of Fighting lightweight champion Justin Gaethje returns to the cage March 12 to take on No. 1 contender Brian Foster at WSOF 29 in Loveland, Colo.
Gaethje (15-0) captured the WSOF lightweight title at WSOF 8, where he defeated Rich Patishnock via first-round knockout. Since that victory, Gaethje notched three more title defenses under the WSOF banner – two against Luis Palomino and a third against Nick Newell, all via knockout.
A would-be fourth title defense for Gaethje came at WSOF 15, where he defeated former UFC lightweight Melvin Guillard via split-decision.
