--THE LEAD-IN--
Cage Titans is back tonight with their 65th event to date. As you can see from the poster above it is once again another stacked card with 13 matches. Andy K is the host with the most and the commentators are Andy K, Pat Gilbride and one of my favorite Cage Titans commentators, Jay Perrin. The show started off with a kids grappling match with Tyler Pimental as the ref which was a great way to kick off the night. The national anthem has been sung and the fights are about to start.

--THE WRAP UP--
What a great night of fights. The show went very smooth and the stream looked great and sounded good. There were a ton of solid finishes and not one boring fight. Piersma continues to impress and make new fans. He takes out anyone who is put in front of him. I will say after watching that fight, that Congdon proved himself that he will take tough fights and impressed me with his toughness. Giannetti had another impressive win which puts him at 16-5 with a two fight win streak. I, for one would love to see him fight Ryan Sanders or Peter Barrett next.
