In a recent conference call to promote "Palhares vs. Shields," which takes place on Aug. 1, 2015, WSOF President Ray Sefo declared that he'd love to have renowned cutman Jacob "Stitch" Duran in the organization. Today, it seems he got his man.
The Jacob "Stitch" Duran story has taken another interesting turn.
Earlier this week, Duran was released from his Zuffa contract after making some honest (and not really disparaging) remarks about how UFC's cutmen were being left out of the Reebok deal. That wouldn't have been so terrible had the group not been forced to cut ties with their existing sponsors and miss out on significant paychecks.
