World Series of Fighting 20: Branch vs. McElligott
The main event was originally scheduled to feature the second semifinal fight of the WSOF Light Heavyweight Championship tournament between Matt Hamill and Vinny Magalhães.[1] But on March 5, 2015, it was announced that Magalhães was taken out of the tournament due to contractual problems between the World Series of Fighting and Titan Fighting Championship.[2]
The main event was then changed to a fight between WSOF Middleweight ChampionDavid Branch and Ronny Markes for the second semifinal fight of the WSOF Light Heavyweight Championship tournament.[3] However, on the day of the weigh-in, Markes was forced out of the bout due to dehydration and was replaced by promotional newcomer Jesse McElligott.[4] McElligott's original opponent, Steve Skrzat, was removed from the card entirely and paid his show and win money.[5]
