Duke "The Viking" Webb — 32, Merritt Island, Florida. 6-foot-3, 312 pounds, 15 years in combat sports across amateur MMA, BJJ tournaments, and kickboxing. Holds two martial arts black belts and once beat 412-pound wrestler Thomas Riggins in an MMA-rules bout.

Three returning WES veterans round out the seven: Brazil's Rui, Jr., Josh "Siua" Tuitupou of Union City, California, and Gilberto "El Coloso Aztec" De La Torre of Los Angeles.

Two names are out: Brennen Moorefield withdrew with a training injury, and Jakob "Mosin" Alekseyev is off the card with no reason given.

They join a field that already includes Power Slap athlete Makini "Big Mak" Manu, former Japanese top-division wrestler Hidenoumi "The Iron Wall" Takuya, Orlando-based Soslan "Big Bear" Gagloev, and Eli Flecha.
