Gaethje is the only lightweight champion thus far in WSOF history, the promotion has been around now for more than three years. Foster is a UFC veteran and he was actually cut from the promotion despite being on a two fight winning streak. Gaethje will try to lure Foster into a slugfest and he will do that to finish him with strikes in the second round.
