With a simple but digestible format that has had the MMA fanbase responding, this series has shown to have legs in multiple ways while serving as a crockpot for contenders whom the UFC matchmakers can use for future events. So, with that trend in mind, I will once again be taking a look at the winning fighters regardless of whether or not they won a UFC contract, grading their performances in regards to their probability of returning to a UFC stage.

The contest served as the main event of Friday’s Titan FC 55, which streamed live on UFC Fight Pass from Xtreme Action Park Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Puerta was in control of the action from the start, methodically controlling the pace and positioning of the fight. But the bout took on some real character in the third, when Ledesma suffered a cut over his right eye, and blood began to pour freely over both men.

The Florida State Athletic Commission today voted unanimously to adopt the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) standard on the compounds, which drastically raises the threshold for an adverse finding. Unfortunately for Titan FC flyweight champ Juan Puerta (16-6), the new standard is not liberal enough to clear him of a positive test for Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – the psychoactive component in marijuana – that pulled him from a title defense this past month.
