WSOF 26: Tyrone Spong withdraws due to injury, undercard bouts announced for Dec. 18

World Series of Fighting (WSOF) 26: "Palmer vs. Almeida" takes place on Dec. 18 inside The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Nevada. Lance Palmer defends his featherweight title against Alexandre de Almeida in the WSOF 26 headliner.

The rest of the scheduled line-up for the event has been shuffled a bit. Light heavyweight fighter and kickboxing star Tyrone Spong was expected to have his first WSOF fight since August of 2013, but has withdrawn due to injury.

Spong's scheduled opponent Jake "The Honey Bear" Heun (8-4) will instead be taking on Las Vegas' own Clinton Williams (10-2) in a bout moved to the night's preliminary action before the live broadcast on NBC Sports Network.
