World Series of Fighting President Ray Sefo had the following to say about the signing of Cosmo Alexandre:

"As a former kickboxing world champion who also made the transition to MMA, I am excited to welcome Cosmo Alexandre to our roster and see him perform.

With the addition of Cosmo, our lightweight division is stronger than ever, and I think he will provide World Series of Fighting fans with a number of memorable encounters in the cage and, perhaps make a run at our lightweight world championship."

Alexandre is coming off a decision win over John Wayne Parr, which earned him the Lion Fight Super Middleweight championship belt.
