--THE LEAD-IN--
Cage Titans returns with their 69th event to date. The event is held at once again Plymouth Memorial Hall and featured 3 Muay Thai and followed up by 13 mma battles. This fight card is extremely well matched and to me many of the battles can go either way so it should make for an exciting card. I will be watching the live stream on Spectation Sports so please follow along.

What a night of fights! Cage Titans kicked the year off with a bang with many memorable battles. Tom Pags made quite a statement with his win that he is ready for the next level so let's hope he gets that call up. I really love the idea of the OG title that Cage Titans does because it gives the older fighters a chance to show that they still can put on war and it gives them the recognition they normally wouldn't get against a young opponent. Cage Titans hasn't announced any upcoming battles yet but I am sure Polvere is already working on it as we speak.
