The World Series of Fighting put on their first card of 2017, as WSOF 35 showcased a 3-fight main card, each with a world title on the line. The WSOF heavyweight strap remained with champion Blagoy Ivanov as he dusted Shawn Jordan in under 2 minutes of the opening round headliner. Andre Harrison used his striking, and not his wrestling, to dethrone Lance Palmer and become the new WSOF featherweight king. Bekbulat Magomedov showcased his superior grappling game with a dominant performance over Donavan Frelow to win the vacant bantamweight belt.
