Complete World Series of Fighting (WSOF) 5 coverage below, including quick results and main card play-by-play updates of the NBC Sports-televised event TONIGHT (Sat., Sept. 14, 2013), including the heavyweight main event between mixed martial arts (MMA) veterans Andrei Arlovski and Mike Kyle.

via WSOF

World Series of Fighting (WSOF) heads to "The Garden State" TONIGHT (Sat., Sept. 14, 2013), holding its fifth-ever event at Revel Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

MMAmania.com will provide LIVE blow-by-blow, round-by-round coverage of WSOF 5 below, beginning with the NBC Sports telecast at 9:00 p.m. ET. In addition, we'll deliver up-to-the-minute quick results of all the under card action much earlier in the evening (beginning at 7 p.m. ET).

Headlining the main event will be a heavyweight attraction between Mike Kyle and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski. Both men hit hard and this fight could be a knock-em-down, drag-em-out slugfest or it could end in one bit blow.

The big draw on the remainder of the card is the middleweight title tournament which features the likes of Dave Branch, Danillo Villefort, Elvis Mutapcic and Jesse Taylor. It will be Mutapcic's and Taylor's promotional debuts, but they've more than earned the right to vie for the belt with their recent performances elsewhere.

Also on tap will be a heavyweight bout between Rolles Gracie and Derrik Mehmen and perhaps the most interesting fight of the night will be a featherweight attraction between Georgi Karakhanyan and Waylon Lowe.
