With another massive Cage Titans in the rearview mirror; an event that smashed all records for the promotion, the bar has been set to a lofty height going into their tenth year. With the call going out to fighters for the anticipated follow-up, the response was as deafening as the sold-out crowds of Memorial Hall, leaving little choice but to make history yet again.

For the first time ever, Cage Titans will be hosting back-to-back shows, featuring two full fight cards across two locations, with two different rulesets.

The first card sees Cage Titans return to Pinz for Cage Titans Combat Night 3, setting the proving ground for a slew of amateurs who are hungry to earn their chance at the bright lights of Plymouth Memorial Hall. Capping the Pinz card of both amateur muay thai and MMA will be a solid main event, as undefeated Connor Matthews from Lauzon MMA takes on returning Alaska-based fighter Kris Berberich. Having made the long trek from the frosty forty-ninth state for last Cage Titans, Berberich was handed a tough loss in a gutsy performance at 155lbs. Asking for a chance to redeem himself at 145, Berberich sees himself lined up with long time Cage Titans battler in Matthews, who seeks to continue his assault on the professional ranks.

 

Shifting the action back to Plymouth Memorial Hall for the second event, there will be a plethora of amateur titles in both MMA and Muay Thai being contested for. The lightweight title will be up for grabs as grappling powerhouse Dion Rubio faces Evolution Athletix hatchetman Mohammad Al Kinani in a potential Cage Titans classic. In 135lb action, Kam Arnold and Arthur Mpofu will battle for the now vacant 135lb strap; seeking to hold the single most illustrious belt in the promotions history. Finally, on the amateur side, the first Cage Titans Amateur Muay Thai title is on the line, as crowd favorite Shaun Shubert faces newcomer Jordan MacFarlane for the right to claim the new title.

On the professional side Saturday we’re treated to a worthy co-main and main event; bouts that will single-handedly sell out this epic show. In the co-main event, full-time fighter and part-time commentator Jay Perrin will defend his 135lb Professional title against world-travelling leg lock specialist Bendy Casimir in a nail-biting contest. Finally, one of the proudest products of Cage Titans, “Shameless” Don Shainis will look to hoist his first title as a professional, taking on hometown spoiler, Michigan Top Team’s Darius Estell.

All these bouts, plus a cavalcade of hungry lions on the undercard await to entertain in this two part April event.
