Watch and discuss World Series of Fighting 18: Moraes vs. Hill right here on Bloody Elbow. The main event in Edmonton, Alberta features a bantamweight title fight between Marlon Moraes and Josh Hill.
Who's up for some rare Thursday night MMA? World Series of Fighting 18 originates from Edmonton, Alberta, and one of the sport's top bantamweights aims to defend his title successfully for the first time. Brazil's Marlon Moraes takes on Canada's Josh Hill in the main event. Moraes won the bantamweight belt against Josh Rettinghouse, but then took on Cody Bollinger in a non-title catchweight bout afterwards. The undefeated Hill was supposed to face Moraes last September before pulling out with an injury. His lone WSOF appearance ended in a KO win over Mike Adams in Canada.
In the co-main, Shane Campbell faces Derek Boyle. The rest of the NBC Sports Network main card includes former UFC fighter Cody McKenzie battling Alberta's Andrew McInnes, as well as prospect Hakeem Dawodu meeting Tristan Johnson.
This is your place to discuss all of tonight's action, which not only includes a streamed preliminary card, but also several local feature fights after the main card is complete. You can watch the prelims and uh ... "postlims" right here on Bloody Elbow by viewing the video at the top of the page.
