All is not well between David Branch and World Series of Fighting (WSOF).
The light heavyweight and middleweight WSOF champion has gone undefeated inside the WSOF cage with a record of 10-0. Despite his success under the organization, there are clearly some underlying issues.
Branch took to Twitter to say he is a free agent. Check it out below:
I just want to inform my fans I am now a free agent, it's time to move on to a different chapter in my life @arielhelwani @bokamotoESPN

The Renzo Gracie jiu-jitsu fighter took things a step further when he claimed the promotion somehow “threatened” him. While he didn’t go into details, he did promise to reveal more information soon.
Going into my last fight I wasn't only fighting my opponent, I was fighting the whole entire promotion. I was threatened fight week

In his last outing, Branch took on Louis Taylor in a middleweight title defense. It was WSOF’s first event in New York City. Branch successfully defended his championship with a rear-naked choke submission in the fifth round.
It should be noted that Branch is still officially part of the WSOF roster and is still a two-weight champion under the promotion. Should anything change in the coming days, MMANews.com will catch you up on the latest developments.
