WSOF's Smealinho Rama wants to go from top prospect to red-hot free agent

The World Series of Fighting heavyweight champion wants to become a hot commodity outside of the UFC and eventually parlay that into a hefty contract with the promotion. Rama, 23, is one of the best heavyweight prospects in the world and will look to defend his title against Blagoi Ivanov in the co-main event of WSOF 21 on Friday in Edmonton.

After the Ivanov bout, Rama will only have one fight left on his WSOF deal, he said. So this is a pivotal fight and not one he's looking past. But the Greece native and Calgary resident has an outline for how he sees his fighting career playing out.
