WSOF 34 loses Josh Copeland to injury, now features military veterans

World Series of Fighting (WSOF) 34 "Fitch vs. Shields" comes to Budweiser Events Center in Loveland, Colo. on Nov. 12, 2016. The main event that night will see Jon Fitch defending his welterweight title against former Strikeforce champion Jake Shields.

One of the main card bouts originally set to accompany them that night was a heavyweight showdown between former title contender Josh "Cuddly Bear" Copeland (13-4) and former champion Smealinho Rama (9-2). Copeland has had to withdraw from WSOF 34 due to a knee injury.

Rama still has a fight and will now be facing Kevin Sears (4-2) in his Decagon debut.
