 Soa Palelei (9-3) v Corey Parker (9-3)
The USFC is back in action as it celebrates its first year on the Tycoon scene with USFC 78, Live from the Liberty Dome in New York!
One year ago yesterday the USFC opened its doors and went looking for the top 250 ID range fighters in the world, and boy did it come up big!
Among the first wave of early recruits came two promising young heavyweights, Corey "Punishment Walk" Parker out of the camp of Martin O, and Soa Palelei out of Camp Jursllla. Parker made his debut along with the org later that month at USFC 1 on Thanksgiving Day, and went on to capture the crown in January of 2015.
Palelei made his USFC debut that same month with a pair of KO's to earn a title shot against Parker in February, finishing the champ in Round 1 with a dominant performance. After both fighters won their next fights, Parker found himself as the #1 contender and poised for the rematch with Palelei.
However, Palelei intially declined stating that Parker was no challenge after just crushing him in convincing fashion. After hearing Parker's claims that he just had a bad night and that he knew how to bring down the seemingly invincible champion, Palelei accepted the challenge and the rematch was on!
The two squared off at USFC 33 as Parker took the champ down early and began to wear on him with a slow and steady attack, chipping away at Palelei with ground and pound. With just 3 seconds to go in Round 4, a final elbow broke Palelei's will and Parker became the first 2-time heavyweight champion in the USFC's history!
It was a stunning upset that sparked a heated rivalry between two of the best new camps of 2015 and set up a trilogy for the ages! The two Hall Of Fame inductees enter the cage this Saturday night in the main event to finally settle score as the winner moves one step closer to a third world title! It's a night for the fans as two of the USFC's founding fighters cap off a night featuring some of the most loved fighters in USFC history!
