World Series of Fighting (WSOF) 31: "Ivanov vs. Copeland" takes place June 17, 2016, at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. The main event will see Blagoy Ivanov (13-1) defend his heavyweight title against Josh "Cuddly Bear" Copeland (13-1).
To round out the WSOF 31 fight card the promotion has announced a complete set of seven preliminary bouts that will be headlined by the debut of Lorenzo "Dream Killer" Hood (9-3) facing Tyler "The Marauder" King (10-4).
Hood was at one time slated to fight Raphael Butler in Bellator, but pulled out with an injury on very short notice and was subsequently released without ever fighting for the promotion.
