Branch is one of the few fighters on today’s MMA scene who has been victorious in the UFC, Bellator and the World Series of Fighting. Branch seems to be hitting his stride, having recently put his hands on the WSOF middleweight championship.

Since dropping a submission loss to Rousimar Palhares and getting released from the UFC, Branch has won six of seven fights, improving his overall record to 14-3. His lone loss came against one of the hottest fighters in MMA: Anthony Johnson. Today, he is currently riding a four-fight winning streak, which culminated in his crowning win against Jesse Taylor at WSOF 10.

Now a title defense against Yushin Okami looms, as it was announced that Branch would defend his championship against the Japanese star at WSOF 15 in October.
