Andre and Rafael win this past weekend at Battlefield fight league!

We want to congratulate our team mates Andre De Silva and Rafael Escobar on their amazing performances last weekend in Battlefield at the Vancouver Convention Centre.  Rafael lands a head kick in the 3rd round to shake up his opponent  then gets the takedown to finish with a RNC.  What a great fight put on by Rafael and Marty Wyse from Team Impact MMA.  Andre De Silva wins by Dr. stoppage in between the 2nd and 3rd round.  This was a very close contested fight in the co-main event which had everyone on the edge of their seats.  With this victory Andre gets another shot at the 145lb title which he previously held but lost via split decision just months ago. image (1)

Nima and James fight in Thailand this week!

We would like to wish James and Nima luck as they take their training to the next level and step up to compete in the mother land of Muay Thai kickboxing!

Nima is booked to fight on Wednesday night and what an experience this will be for him.  Nima has only been training  Muay Thai for around 5 months with no previous competition experience.  It takes a lot of heart and guts to step in the ring and we admire him for being so brave.  Win, lose or draw Nima just wanted to experience first hand what fighting in a real event  is all about and what better place to do it in then the country of Thailand where the sport originated from.  We wish him the best as he makes a memory that will be with him for the rest of his life.  Great job Nima we are proud of you and all the best from your team at Titan MMA.

James is booked to fight Friday!  This will be James first full Muay Thai rules fight.  James is the WKL 174lbs Light Heavyweight provincial and WKL Western Canadian kickboxing Champion.  Traveling to Thailand, training at a authentic Muay Thai camp, and fighting in Thailand has always been a life long dream of his.  He has been training 6 hours a day at Sumalee Boxing Gym since he arrived there and in just a few short days he gets to fulfill that dream.  James plans on having a busy year of competition and is also booked to fight back in Vancouver Feb 15th.  Team Titan wishes you the best James and congratulations in advance!
