Titan FC 33 results: Kurt Holobaugh beats Desmond Green, wins featherweight title

BAD MMA News — Sat, 21 Mar 2015 06:13:53 +0000

Kurt Holobaugh Desmond Green had to cut off his dreadlocks to make weight and defend his Titan FC featherweight championship against Strikeforce and UFC veteran Kurt Holobaugh at Titan FC 33. Holobaugh had no intention of allowing the weight cut to be the most difficult part of Green’s weekend. The majority of the fight was contested on the feet, with Holobaugh (14-2) doing slightly more in the striking game while Green (14-4) would score with a takedown at some point in most rounds, but never being able to do significant work or truly control the fight. Holobaugh controlled the center of the cage when the two men were striking, forcing Green to retreat for much of the fight while Holobaugh picked his spots to throw strikes. Green’s trainer, Firas Zahabi, spent much of the bout imploring Green to utilize his wrestling, but Green was content to strike, rarely showing a commitment to try to get the fight to the ground over the 25 minutes of ring time, and that decision to stay on the feet and get out-struck cost him dearly

The morning after Miles Anstead had made his MMA debut, he cried. He had been doing jiu-jitsu tournaments for years with success, but his move to MMA had put him in a cage for the first time. It didn’t go well. His gymnastics balance skills and his BMX athletic skills hadn’t helped at the time (though they would later).

With snow on the trail, Adam Nijem found himself lost in Washington’s Cascade Mountain Range. He was with an older brother, Joe, and because Nijem’s Boy Scouts training had taught him to be self-reliant, he hadn’t told anyone where they were going. On his way to Eagle Scout status, high schooler Nijem had to improvise
