Mooi dat die weer in actie komt.
Denk dat het een lastige pot wordt maar wie weet!

[Sato]

Ondanks zijn grillen blijft het een lastige tegenstander voor Michael maar natuurlijk hoop ik dat hij hem helemaal in elkaar beukt.

[jantje11]

Jammer dat die van de UFC terug valt op deze organisatie.
Denk persoonlijk dat het voor Michael beter was geweest om eerst in organisaties te vechten waar al ex UFC vechters rond liepen en dan pas de overstap te maken naar het echte geweld in plaats van andersom.

[Kemal]

Ik hoop ook voor MK dat hij deze partij kan winnen!

[Klassikl]

Tegenstander van 'grote' naam. Winst zou zijn cariere grote boost geven!

[YoMarK]

Goed nieuws is dat Titan FC nu dus door CBS sports gaat worden uitgezonden.

Tegenstander van 'grote' naam. Winst zou zijn cariere grote boost geven!

Wel een lastige partij maar als je wint val je wel weer op in tegenstelling tot wanneer je een low profile vechter vernietigt.

Titan FC 27 Results: Ricci Crushes Gurgel, Riddle Chokes Kuiper

On Friday, Feb. 28, Titan Fighting Championship hosted its 27th event from Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan. The main card aired live on the CBS Sports Network.

In the main event, Ultimate Fighter runner-up Mike Ricci returned to action for the first time since his UFC release to take on UFC and Strikeforce veteran Jorge Gurgel in a lightweight contest. Ricci, who holds a record of 8-4, went 1-2 inside the Octagon and looked to bounce back from a loss to Myles Jury in September. Meanwhile, Gurgel was competing for the first time since the final Strikeforce event in January of 2013. The 37-year-old is known for his exciting style, but was looking to snap a two-fight skid.

The co-main event also featured a match-up of big show veterans looking for redemption as middleweights Matt Riddle and Michael Kuiper locked horns. Riddle was released from the UFC following his second positive test for marijuana in February of last year. He stepped into the Titan cage riding a four-fight winning streak, tainted by the two no-contests stemming from the failed drug tests. The Dutchman Kuiper entered the world-famous Octagon with a sparkling 11-0 record, but struggled to find consistency at the sport’s highest level, dropping three of his four appearances.

The seven-fight event kicked off Friday with two preliminary card bouts streaming live on cbssportsnetwork.com at 10:30 p.m. ET. The five-fight main card followed at 11:30 p.m. ET on the CBS Sports Network.

On a night where UFC veterans got back on the right track, Mike Ricci certainly shined in the main event. Ricci stayed composed when Jorge Gurgel ran right after him with strikes following the opening bell. Ricci quickly got in on a double-leg takedown and brought Gurgel to the ground. Ricci mixed it up with vicious punches and elbows until the referee had seen enough late in the first round.

The co-main event featured a battle of wrestling and judo, but it was ultimately jiu-jitsu that decided the fight between Matthew Riddle and Michael Kuiper. Riddle locked up a slick standing guillotine choke that ended the fight about halfway through the second round. Kuiper had surprised Riddle in the first taking him down, but Riddle came back in the second and reversed a takedown attempt and took Kuiper’s back. Kuiper scrambled, but that led to the guillotine that ended the fight.

Kurt Holobaugh got back on track after an unsuccessful Zuffa run with a convincing decision win over Eric Marriott. Holobaugh rocked Marriott on the feet in round one then defended every takedown Marriott tried to throw his way. Holobaugh went with a ground-and-pound style to win the second round. Holobaugh had to recover from a rough moment in the third when he was rocked, but he eventually used a leg lock sweep to get back on top and ended the fight there.

Kevin Croom and Byron Goldsby went to a close decision in a bantamweight bout. Goldsby was on top for the majority of the first round, but Croom stayed very active from his back. Croom returned the favor and spent the majority of round two on top. The third round was back and forth again, but Croom took control about halfway through and got the decision win.

The first fight to air in Titan FC’s new era on CBS Sports Network was a quick one. The Ultimate Fighter veteran, Anthony Gutierrez made easy work of Charlie DuBray. DuBray scored a takedown at the start of the fight, but it didn’t take long for Gutierrez to lock up a triangle choke. DuBray tried to fight it off, but was submitted in less than one minute.

FULL RESULTS

Josh Reed def Jordan Casterline by TKO (strikes). Round 2, 0:42 (a)
Aaron Goldfield def Fernando Andrade by unanimous decision (30-27 x3) (a)


Dit is zijn 3rde opeenvolgende Loss en alle 3 doormiddel van een guillotine choke. Lijkt me toch wel een puntje om aandacht aan te besteden.

jammer voor kuiper zeg

[Mastenbroek]

Wat een spoiler

[Lionheart]

Nooit weggeweest van Kuiper zijn vechtstijl. Dit alles is een stap te hoog voor hem is nu gebleken.

[ChingChong]

Video iemand?

Bijna klaar met uploaden, ik plaats de video op de frontpage

Thanks Kev!

Vwb Michael, erg jammer dit, hij heeft nu al een paar partijen achter elkaar verloren..

[Klassikl]

Wel verbaasd dat Ricci zo snel uit de UFC werd gekicked. Vond hem toch een erg solide indruk maken in tuf en zijn ufc partijen.

[yuko]

Zonde voor Kuipers. Het stomme is dat ik niet denk dat hij qua talent of vermogen tekort komt voor dit soort tegenstanders. Het lijkt me meer een probleem dat hij niet genoeg goede mma sparring partners heeft.

[jantje11]

Mischien een idee om een overstap te maken naar GG / Martijn De Jong.

Ik persoonlijk denk dat die daar veel verder mee gaat komen als waar die nu zit en heeft gezeten.

x2 denk dat hij ook zeker het niveau heeft om mee te draaien met deze jongens. Hij kan goed weerstand bieden, en dan laat hij zich relatief eenvoudig wegzetten in een guillotine. Denk ook dat hij meer sparringspartners nodig heeft, die hem onder druk kunnen zetten,
