The bout generally regarded as the best in WSOF history will soon play out again, according to WSOF President Ray Sefo, as lightweight champ Justin Gaethje and Peruvian slugger Luis Palomino will apparently meet in a rematch.

In this week’s new edition of “The MMA Road Show with John Morgan,” Sefo said that he and WSOF matchmaker Ali Abdelaziz were in the process of planning a second meeting between the two explosive 155-pounders.

“Right here, right now, absolutely it’s going to happen soon,” Sefo said. “Ali and I just talked about it yesterday, and it’s in the works already.”

Sefo stopped short of guaranteeing the bout would be the next booking for both fighters but did admit that was the most likely scenario.

“Very, very likely,” Sefo said.

Additional sources close to the promotion indicated to MMAjunkie that the rematch could potentially take place as soon as September in a yet-to-be-announced WSOF event. Those sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to publicly discuss such matters.

Gaethje (14-0) and Palomino (23-10) met in the main event of March’s WSOF 19 event in Arizona. The two went toe-to-toe from the opening bell in a slugfest that drew comparisons to the legendary UFC bout between Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar that concluded the first season of “The Ultimate Fighter.”

Griffin and Bonnar would rematch, as well, though it took 16 months before the UFC pulled the trigger on the booking.

Sefo said he appreciated the comparisons between the two fights but believes Gaethje and Palomino will sizzle again in the second booking, whenever it does come to fruition.

“Absolutely that was the Bonnar-Griffin fight (of the WSOF),” Sefo said. “Ali and I knew that fight was going to be like that, but you never know until you’re in there, right? And that fight, not only did it live up to the hype, but those guys really stamped their mark as who they are as fighters and showed the world what kind of fighters they are and who they are as people, really. Those two bonded in that cage.

“That fight really showed the world who those guys are. The thing is, every single time those two meet, it will be exactly the same.”
