Las Vegas-based mixed martial arts promotion World Series of Fighting announced on Thursday the addition of seven preliminary bouts to its Oct. 17 event.
The featured preliminary contest will see former WSOF featherweight champion Rick Glenn facing off against Adam Ward. Glenn had won eight straight battles before losing to Lance Palmer last December at WSOF 16. He’s looking to get back on track against Ward, who makes his promotional debut on the strength of a five-fight winning streak.
