The World Series of Fighting lightweight championship was on the line as undefeated champion Justin Gaethje and Luis Palomino engaged in an action packed fight that was clearly one of the most entertaining fights of the year so far. Gaethje was able to finish Palomino and keep his perfect record in tact with a third round TKO. Infamous former UFC fighter Thiago Silva made his WSOF debut and looked rather unimpressive as he suffered a TKO loss in the first round of his fight with Teddy Holder. The event was held from the Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona.
