World Series of Fighting (WSOF) will end 2015 with a party.

According to a press release, the promotion's Dec. 18 event, WSOF 26, marks the return of featherweight champion Lance "The Party" Palmer and noted striker Tyrone Spong. The event will take place at The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.

Winner of three straight--all via submission--Palmer brings a distinguished Division-I wrestling pedigree to the cage, using his dominant takedowns and ground control to frustrate and smother his opponents. Training at Team Alpha Male, Palmer represents the cream of the crop outside the UFC at 145 pounds.

Palmer is expected to face the winner of Saturday's WSOF 24 matchup between Saul Almeida and Alexandre Almeida.

WSOF officials have not yet named an opponent for Spong's third professional fight. The high-octane kickboxer is 2-0 in professional MMA action, scoring one victory via knockout and one via decision. Both of his previous fights have come under the WSOF banner.

"We are looking forward to making our debut at one of the finest venues in the fight capital of the world and to another historic night of MMA action with the return of both Tyrone Spong, one of the sport's hottest commodities, and Lance Palmer, a prolific world champion," said WSOF President Ray Sefo.

did spong break a leg or something?

- He broke a couple of months ago, maybe a year ago.
There were talks about him wanting to face Rotwell, i think Ben would beat him quite handly.
