After Titan FC 41, Raush Manfio’s wish is to KO champ and move on to promotion that ‘pays the bills’

BAD MMA News — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 21:10:50 +0000

Much like his Titan FC 41 opponent, lightweight Raush Manfio has more than pride at stake tonight. Both Manfio (7-1) and Demarques Jackson (5-0) have had a tough time making it financially as fighters. While Jackson actually had to quit MMA for a year in order to support himself, Manfio has persisted with his training at Florida’s American Top Team – but not without sacrifice. Both have similar plans – winning first and moving on to bigger promotions and paychecks later. Only problem is: tonight, at least one of them is going to be frustrated. “I did watch the last championship bout – Gesias Cavalcante vs.

BAD MMA News — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 15:01:56 +0000

Welterweight Demarques Jackson found it so hard to make a living as an MMA fighter he once quit the sport for a year. Now back in the game, Jackson is trying again to make a go of it and brings high financial stakes into every bout. “I’m going out there to get two checks – I don’t care who it is,” said Jackson (5-0), who tonight at Titan 41 meets Raush Manfio (7-1). The event takes place tonight at Bank United Center in Coral Gables, Fla., and streams live on UFC Fight Pass.

It’s been more than a year since Jason Jackson argued with UFC commentator and bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz about his performance in the cage. Now, the Blackzilian and veteran of “The Ultimate Fighter 21” thinks there should be no doubt about his readiness to compete in the octagon after he meets Rodrigo Cavalheiro Correia on Friday at Titan FC 41.

Alexandre Bezerra eyes UFC after planned Titan FC 41 featherweight title win: ‘Now is my time’

BAD MMA News — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 00:58:19 +0000

After parting ways with Bellator after nine fights in the organization, Alexandre Bezerra has his sights set on a title under the Titan FC banner – and then a move to the UFC. On Friday, Bezerra (18-4) takes on featherweight champion Andre Harrison (13-0) in the co-main event of Titan FC 41. Harrison is going after his fourth title defense against the Brazilian, so Bezerra’s quest for a belt won’t be any easy task. Titan FC 41 takes place Friday at Bank United Center in Coral Gables, Fla. The event will stream live on UFC Fight Pass – so if Bezerra can come away with the 145-pound belt, he thinks he could fast-track himself into the world’s MMA leader. “Without a doubt,” Bezerra told MMAjunkie

Carina Damm is downplaying the career significance of her upcoming Titan FC 41 headliner with Kalinda Faria , which will determine the organization’s inaugural women’s bantamweight champion.

She’s faced noteworthy opponents – Jessica Aguilar, Cat Zingano, Tara LaRosa, Tonya Evinger, Jessica Eye and Rosi Sexton, among others – on relevant fight cards, but she hasn’t competed in such a high-stakes affair in quite some time. Additionally, Damm (23-12) has an extensive history with Faria (17-5-1).
