Cage Titans held its final event of 2015 this past weekend at Plymouth Memorial Hall with another sold-out event. The night had a little bit of everything and kept the fans engaged the entire evening. The Undercard featured an unprecedented 13 fighters making their cage debuts and each and every one of them made the most of it. As for the Main Card, we saw the crowning of a new champion in the lightweight division with Joe Giannetti keeping his perfect record intact and taking home the vacant title. After that we were witness to an incredible battle between Sean Nichols and Devin Carrier in what many were calling ‘Fight of the Year”. In the Co-Main event, Will Santiago lived up to his reputation as a heavy-hitter and captured the Welterweight belt by landing a bomb of an uppercut, leading to a guillotine victory. And finally, closing out the night we saw a high-level chess match between UFC vet Tateki Matsuda and crowd favorite Johnny Campbell that ended up going the distance with Matsuda edging out the decision on the judges scorecards. Below please find results of all the fights as well as various media outlets that covered the event.
