Rich Patishnock made World Series of Fighting (WSOF) history with Justin Gaethje back in Jan. 2014. He has been away ever since, but he returns this weekend to compete in a grueling 155-pound tournament.
World Series of Fighting (WSOF) will hold its eight-main, one-night Lightweight Tournament this Friday night (Nov. 20, 2015) at Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Ariz., the winner of which will earn a title shot against division champion Justin Gaethje.
Several of the tournament participants have previous history with Gaethje; however, perhaps none more significant than Rich Patishnock. Gaethje defeated Patishnock via first round technical knockout in the first round at WSOF 8, becoming the promotion's first-ever 155-pound champion.
