Jacob Volkmann signs with World Series of Fighting...
Jacob Volkmann has quickly landed back on his feet following his release from the UFC last week.
The lightweight has signed a multi-fight contract with World Series of Fighting, Al Abdel Aziz, the promotion's executive vice president and matchmaker, confirmed with MMAFighting.com Tuesday night.
The 32-year-old is expected to debut for WSOF in June at the promotion's third event.
Volkmann (15-4) most recently lost to Bobby Green via third-round submission at UFC 156 earlier this month. His UFC record was 6-4.
WSOF 2, headlined by Anthony Johnson vs. Andrei Arlovski at heavyweight, is set for March 23 in Atlantic City, N.J.

Who cares if he's a Zuffa reject, he is a quality fighter and that's what I care about. Plus the guy when like 6-2 in the UFC LW division, he still could beat a lot of UFC LWs.

Don't get me wrong I like Volkmann, always have, I hope he has nothing but success in WSOF. I just think its a terrible business model to just sign everyone fired from a bigger company for good money just because they're a little bit of a "name"

You hurt my head.
Signing named fighters is a HUGE deal for smaller promotions.
Promoting a fighter is expensive. But once their name is known or on a big stage.
All you have to do is tell people "this person" is coming to town.
People will flock.
Comedians oddly enough are a prime example of this.
