Since starting off last year, the World Series of Fighting Global Championship has quickly established itself in the Asian market as one of the top up and coming promotions in the region. As a follow-up to events in Hainan, China, and Tokyo, Japan, WSOF-GC will hold its third event on Saturday in Manilla, Philippines, headlined by a world heavyweight title fight and the beginning of the promotion’s four-man tournament to crown its first flyweight champion. Speaking to MMAWeekly.com, WSOF-GC Vice President of Operations Jason Lilly gave his thoughts on the company’s upcoming event, how the promotion has done so far and what’s ahead in the future.
