A press release issued this past week by World Series of Fighting announced an upcoming lightweight tournament to crown its first champion at 155 pounds. Among the fighters targeted for the competition was Justin Gaethje , Dan Lauzon , the winner of a fight at WSOF 4 between Gesias Cavalcante and Tyson Griffin and one-handed fighter Nick Newell (9-0). Newell’s opponent at WSOF 4, Keon Caldwell (9-1), was not mentioned, and that has his camp feeling two things – worried the promotion is displaying favoritism, and motivated to spoil its plans. “Throughout the whole process, it seems like the attention has been on Nick a little more than Keon,” Caldwell’s trainer, Richard Cox, told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “(WSOF is) a great company – I just think they’re on the Nick Newell hype train
