World Series of Fighting will begin its 2016 campaign next month in Memphis, Tennessee.
The Las Vegas-based organization on Monday announced that FedEx Forum will host WSOF 27, a card set to be headlined by a lightweight duel between onetime “Ultimate Fighter” finalist Mike Ricci and former Strikeforce standout Caros Fodor. The Jan. 23 event will air live on NBCSN beginning at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
Ricci, 29, has won three straight bouts since being released by the UFC in 2013, including victories over fellow Octagon vets George Sotiropoulos and Jorge Gurgel.
