Just a week ago, World Series of Fighting announced it is merging two events to create a super card at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Now, WSOF is set to announce the addition of a fourth title fight to that historic card, a middleweight bout between champion David Branch (19-3) and Louis Taylor (13-1). Branch, who is also the light heavyweight champion, is a Brooklyn native and will open the NBC Sports Network portion of the card at 3 p.m. ET as the first televised fight of the event.
Part of the reasoning behind this move was the length required for championship bouts, which are five round affairs.
