WSOF 29: Justin Gaethje vs Brian Foster Lightweight title fight set for March 12 in Loveland

World Series of Fighting (WSOF) comes to Budweiser Events Center in Loveland, Colo., on Saturday, March 12, 2016, with "Gaethje vs. Foster" live on NBC Sports.

WSOF 29's main event of the evening has been in the making since the WSOF 25: "Lightweight Tournament" card in Nov. 2014, where Brian Foster rebounded from an early submission loss to Joao Zeferino to re-enter the tournament as an injury replacement and ultimately knocked out "The Brazilian Samurai" in the final match.

That victory earned Foster a guaranteed title shot against undefeated (15-0) Lightweight champion, Justin Gaethje, whose last title defense was a sensational finish of Luis Palomino in their second meeting at WSOF 23, ending the bout via second round technical knockout.
