--THE LEAD-IN--
Cage Titans is back today with a day night double header. This is the second time that they have pulled this off and I am sure this one will go off without a hook as well. This one is for the night portion and it is set to start around 7pm. Well this card has had some scratches as the Giannetti fight and the Denning/Gilbride fight has been scratched. With all that said, Cage Titans still has a 9 pro fight event which if you are keeping track at home this is Cage Titans FIRST all pro event.

--THE WRAP UP--
What a great day of Cage Titans action! The last two fights were insane and both fight of the year contenders for sure. The production was very well done. Adding Maddie Levine to the broadcast team was a nice touch. I also enjoyed watching from home the new Fight Stats feature they were using. It was crazy to see all the punches those last two fights had which was insane. Cage Titans returns in May and one of the match ups is an amateur title fight between Miguel Sevasin and Sergei Peresunko. Mark your calendars. Special thanks to Cage Titans and all the staff and fighters who made this epic day happen. Please follow us on social media to stay up to date to all the latest fight happenings in New England.
