TITAN FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP 25 “Fight For the Troops” Preview

Friday night June 7, 2013 Titan Fighting Championship brings us another great card on AXS TV at 10 p.m. E.T. live from the Marshall army Airbase in Fort Riley Kansas.

In the main event we have Army veteran and former WWE professional wrestler Booby Lashley (7-2) taking on Kevin “Concrete” Asplund (13-4).

Lashley, a 3 time national wrestling champion at Missouri Valley College is coming into tonight’s fight on the heels of a unanimous decision loss to veteran fighter James Thompson in May, 2012. Lashley, who many fans know as a WWE star, has great wrestling with the ability to dictate where the fight takes place on the ground.

Lashley’s opponent, Kevin Asplund, comes into tonight’s fight riding a 3 fight losing streak and will be looking for a big win against a big name opponent in Lashley. The Bellator MMA veteran has only one decision win in his 15 career victories and has the ability to finish the fight standing or on the ground with submissions. These are two big men I am looking forward to watching fight.

In the Co-main event we have two undefeated lightweights Jake Lindsey (5-0) vs. Zach Freeman (7-0). Jake Lindsey is coming off of a a unanimous decision win over Jordan Johnson at the last “Fight for the Troops” at  TFC 23 in June of 2012.

Zach “The Alter Boy” Freeman is coming into tonight’s bout after a unanimous decision win over the always tough Robert Washington in January. Freeman will look to remain undefeated and display his skills to a televised audience on AXS TV.

Also on tonight’s televised portion of TFC’s “Fight for the Troops” we have Brian Davidson (10-4) vs. Jesus Adame (3-2). Brian Davidson, an accomplished Muay Thai  and taekwondo fighter, will be looking to get back into the win column after losing his last fight via. Tko (punches) in January, 2013 at RFA 6. “Mr. D” has a notable submission win over former UFC and WEC star Jens Pulver in 2011.

Adame will also be looking for a win after suffering a submission loss via RNC against former NCAA Division 1 national wrestling champion Bubba Jenkins in June of 2012.

Other fights on the card include Aaron Derrow (12-6) vs. Marcio Navarro (8-8), and

Zach Hubbard (1-0) vs. Jeimeson (5-1).

 

 

Enjoy the fights tonight and stay safe.
