World Series of Fighting continues to add talent to its roster, and welterweight Tyler Stinson and light heavyweight Teddy Holder are the latest athletes to sign exclusive multi-fight deals.
MMAjunkie today confirmed the new deals with World Series of Fighting President Ray Sefo.
Both fighters are expected to make their promotional debuts in early 2014.
Stinson (25-9) is a former Bellator MMA and Strikeforce fighter who was been fighting professionally since 2006. “The Evolution” is a Kansas native who currently boasts a two-fight winning streak that includes back-to-back first-round knockouts over Rob Kimmons and Zac Kelley. The 27-year-old is currently working with Grudge Training Center, and 23 of his 25 career wins have come by way of stoppage.
Meanwhile, Holder (8-1) is a 27-year-old Tennessean who has been fighting professionally since 2008. Holder took a near-three-year break from competition between 2009 and 2012 but has since returned with a vengeance, racking up six wins in less than 24 months.
Holder currently boasts a seven-fight winning streak, and he’s never fought past the opening round of a bout. In fact, he boasts three career wins of 60 seconds or less and his average career fight time is just 1 minute and 42 seconds.
World Series of Fighting’s next event takes place Jan. 18 in Hollywood, Fla., and feature two championship matchups.
