World Series of Fighting lightweight champion Justin Gaethje will know who his next title defense will come against once this eight-man, one-night tournament is complete on November 20th in Phoenix, Arizona.
With the tournament brackets set, the rules are now in place for next month's card. Here are the basic details per Thursday's press release:
- No elbows allowed, ground or standing, until the tournament finals.
- The quarter- and semifinals will consist of two five-minute rounds (ignore what their own poster says in the image at the top of the page).
- If the three judges scoring the bouts have it as a draw, a fourth judge will be used to serve as the tiebreaker, but don't ask me what happens if the 4th judge has it as a draw as well.
