UFC Vet Jacob Volkamnn Signs for World Series of Fighting

Recently cut UFC lightweight vet Jacob Volkmann (15-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) is a free agent no longer having signed a multi-fight deal with powerful upstart World Series of Fighting just one week after being cut from the UFC after going 1-2 in his last 3 fights, with both losses coming by way of submission to UK starlet Paul Sass, and recently signed Bobby Green respectively.

Terms of the deal have not been disclosed, however it is believe Volkmann will make his World Series of fighting debut at WSOF 3 in April.

Volkmann, a three-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler at the University of Minnesota, made his pro debut in 2007 going on to sign with the UFC 2 years later after an impressive 9-0 start to his career.

After back-to-back losses to welterweights Paulo Thiago and Martin Kampmann in his first two outings for the UFC, Volkmann made the successful drop to the UFCs lightweight division where he went on a 5 fight winning streak including wins over Paul Kelly, Efrain Escudero, & Danny Castillo, all by decision which drew criticism from from the fans due the Volkamnn's wrestling-oriented style and smothering top game drew.
