Josh Burkman fightas i dagsläget för ”Word Series of Fighting”, och nyligen hade de båda parterna en del otalt med varandra. Nu har de lyckats lösa sin problematik, och det har även blivit klart att Burkman möter vinnaren i titelmatchen mellan welterviktsmästaren Rousimar Palhares och Jon Fitch. Här kan ni läsa vad som skrevs via twitter:

Ali Abdelaziz på ”WSoF” hade även följande att säga, via ”MMAJunkie”:
I’m happy to tell you that we spoke with Josh Burkman, and everything is good. We had a few issues to work out, but everything is good, and Josh will now fight for the welterweight title against the winner of Rousimar Palhares and Jon Fitch.
Josh has done some incredible things in his five fights with us. His win over Tyler Stinson last week was amazing, and he had a great fight against Steve Carl for our first welterweight title. Now he’ll get another shot at the belt after Rousimar Palhares and Jon Fitch fight in June.
Josh Burkman is a great fighter, and I look forward to see him fight either Rousimar Palhares or Jon Fitch. Either way, I think it’s going to be a great fight.
I dagsläget är Palhares inplanerad för att möta Fitch vid ”WSoF 11” den 5 juli, men nu ser det ut som att organisationen har tankar på en titelmatch i juni istället.
