WSOF 31: "Ivanov vs. Copeland" comes to Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., this Friday night (June 17, 2016) with a NBC Sports Network-televised main event that features Blagoi Ivanov, who will attempt to make his second Heavyweight title defense against Josh "Cuddly Bear" Copeland.
Copeland presents a formidable challenge for the champion. He has 15 professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fights under his belt, boasts both Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and World Series of Fighting (WSOF) experience, and has won three of his last four bouts. In fact, his only loss in that span is to former Bellator champion Vitaly Minakov on his home turf in Moscow Russia.
