Certainly some points stick out – most notably that every fighter will have regular fights totalling in no less than 3 a year in addition to a regular monthly paycheck.
Season one of the new league will run for 10 months. Initially it will feature 7 weight classes although it’s unclear which exactly at the time.
The fighters with the best records will move to playoff and then championship round.
Promotional officials also wouldn’t comment on what will become of current WSOF champions Blagoy Ivanov (heavyweight), Jon Fitch (welterweight), Justin Gaethje (lightweight), Andre Harrison (featherweight) or Bekbulat Magomedov (bantamweight).
