World Series of Fighting’s roster continues to grow.

WSOF signed three fighters, including UFC veteran Robbie Peralta, to contracts Monday, executive vice president Ali Abdel-Aziz told MMAFighting.com. Saul Almeida, best known as Jose Aldo’s World Tour translator, and kickboxing star Cosmo Alexandre were the other athletes added.

Peralta (18-6, 1 NC) compiled a 4-3 record with one no contest in the UFC before being released following a loss to Clay Guida in April. The San Diego native had lost two in a row. Peralta, 29, upset then-DREAM featherweight champion Hiroyuki Takaya in his Strikeforce debut in 2011.

Almeida (18-5) has won five in a row, including a victory over Chris Foster at WSOF 20 in April. The 26-year-old Brazilian, who lives in Framingham, Mass., has a 2-2 record in Bellator.

Alexandre (6-1) has not fought in MMA since February 2014 for Legacy, but only lost his pro debut before reeling off six straight wins. In kickboxing, the Brazilian owns a 44-16 record over an 11-year career. In his last bout, the 33-year-old defeated Regian Eersel via unanimous decision at Legacy Kickboxing in January.

WSOF also recently signed UFC veterans Mike Ricci and Jason High.
