CAGE TITANS 48 LIVE REVIEW 7/10/2021


Fight day is finally upon us!!!  The Artist, Joe Leonard and I made the trip to Cage Titans and are anxiously waiting for the fights to start.  The show will be starting at 6pm and we have a total of 13 fights.  7 of the 13 fights will be professional ones.  It is so nice to see all of my local fight friends that I haven't seen in so long.  It is so nice to see everyone not wearing masks and ready to enjoy some good fights.  The fights will be starting around 6pm. I am sitting at the media table with my good friend Old School.  You might have noticed that he wrote a guest article for us about Cage Titans that was hilarious that we posted a few days ago.  Andy K is the host and he is looking sharp with his braids and handlebar mustache.  Cage Titans did an awesome tribute to their previous announcer who died a year ago today.   We will miss you Harry Jones.  Again, this is a sold out show but no worries, we got you covered right here.  WesternMassMMA.com has been around for 12 years and we aren't stopping at getting you closer to the cage.  Keep refreshing your browser to get round by round updates and results as they happen.
