Promotion officials recently announced the fight card, which will have a six-fight main card that airs live on AXS TV. In the main event, the vacant bantamweight title will be on the line as Pedro Munhoz (8-0) meets Keoni Koch (5-0), the older brother of UFC featherweight standout Erik Koch . “I am so excited to bring the RFA to Los Angeles and to give fans in my hometown this championship title fight between undefeated Pedro Munhoz and undefeated Keoni Koch,” RFA President Ed Soares stated. “This fight not only gives the winner the RFA world bantamweight title, he also gets to prove on live national television that he’s one of the toughest rising stars in the division.” Munhoz was supposed to fight Koch at RFA 8, but Koch was forced out with an injury.

Over the course of two and a half minutes, Gaethje did exactly what he set out to do and finished Cavalcante, putting himself on the map in the process. “I was excited for the opportunity to be on national television and fight a guy who was well-known and show the people that I really do belong with everybody else and that I can hold my own and that I’ve been working on my skills,” said Gaethje. “That was the game plan going in was to pressure him and make him feel uncomfortable, and that’s what I did.” While Gaethje made Cavalcante uncomfortable in their fight, he told MMAWeekly.com that he was very at ease at the event thanks to the way the WSOF treated him. “It’s an awesome company,” said Gaethje. “It’s obviously the biggest platform I’ve been on. They’re trying to do a big thing and they’re taking care of the fighters and that’s the most important part.” Gaethje’s return to the WSOF on Friday looks to be a match-up of fighters with equal skillsets as he is slated to take on former UFC fighter Brian “Bandit” Cobb.
