Just a Thought or Dozen On: Titan FC 35

 

Busy weekend of fighting, with no UFC event, UFC Fight Pass offered free fights to subscribers. More bang for your buck. This bang comes in the way of two championship fights in Titan FC. 

I love the name Peter Petties “The Joker”. The Lloyd Irvine student started the broadcast off with a first round KO 2:51 in the featherweight division.

That reminds me: Spinning back-fists are nearly as common as groin kicks in MMA lately.

Firas Zahabi’s voice makes me feel taken care of. GSP’s trainer did most of the color commentary for the broadcast.

Fast Referee stand ups throughout the night. It appeared that working in a position wasn’t allowed only advancement. I’m of the belief that if you’re not attacking from bottom and can’t get up, then you are going to lose. Stand ups are a bail out or the reset button too often.

Jason Knight’s BJJ was unreal. Armlock transition to Triangle, impressive submission at 3:06 of the second round.

Note to aspiring fighters: I love it when, fighters that live on the fringe of my awareness tattoo their last name across the shoulders. Reinforced memories. You tend to see the most of the winner’s back typically also, so it’s foolproof.

Steven Siler can choke you out with one hand tied behind his back. That’s why he is “Super”.

Who knew living your life according to a Pitbull lyric was a good idea? Filipe Efrain that’s who.

Reaffirming my belief in the power of positive speech, Tim Elliot called his shot. His prediction, a second round submission, was made into reality Saturday night.

Sometimes all the Referee stand ups won’t make a boring fight exciting. And Still… Andre Harrison.

Pat Healy is a hater. He fought like a warrior, only to keep Rick Hawn from his destiny the LW Champ. Healy missed weight. He lost the title and a chunk of his pay on the scale, but fought for bragging rights like the Bam Bam you know. There is something about when a champ misses weight that makes me want to bet the farm against him, though. Hawn won a close split decision.
