The one-night tournament is back in style. An eight-man, one-night lightweight tourney is in the works for Nov. 20 at World Series of Fighting 25. The victor will be awarded the next lightweight title shot against the winner of Justin Gaethje vs. Luis Palomino 2.
WSOF executive vice president Ali Abdel-Aziz announced the news Monday on The MMA Hour.
"The winner will fight three times, and it's going to crown a tournament champion," Abdel-Aziz said. "It's going back to the gladiator days. One gladiator fights and he keeps going and going until he achieves his ultimate goal.
