Two major mixed martial arts (MMA) events will collide on one night (Nov. 12, 2016) when World Series of Fighting (WSOF) counters UFC 205, which will be the first-ever (and likely loaded) pay-per-view (PPV) show inside Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y., with a Welterweight title fight between Jon Fitch vs. Jake Shields.
Fitch and Shields -- two former 170-pound UFC stars and title challengers -- will headline WSOF 34 at Budweiser Events Center in Loveland, Colo., airing live on NBC Sports Network. UFC 205 is not necessarily the event (or night) with which a promotion would want to go head-to-head, but after clearing the air with Shields, WSOF President Ray Sefo tells ESPN that he's the man with the plan.
