Benny Madrid Next month’s one-night, eight-man lightweight tournament at WSOF 25, which will decide the next title challenger for champ Justin Gaethje’s title, has some insurance policies in place in the form of two reserve fights. In the quarterfinal round, if a winner is unable to advance to the semifinals due to injury, his opponent – who would have just lost the fight – will move on his place, WSOF officials announced today. However, if neither the winner nor loser can move on to the semis, a semifinalist will come in the form of the winner of one of the reserver bouts. Those reserve matchups will be between LaRue Burley (6-1) and Joe Condon (12-8), and Benny Madrid (8-3) vs. Ramil Mustapayev (3-1). WSOF 25 takes place Nov.
