Titan
Fighting Championship 17
goes down tonight (March 25, 2011) at Memorial Hall
in Kansas City, Kansas, and will air live on HDNet starting at 10 p.m. ET.

The show will feature former WWE superstar Bobby
Lashley
, who is taking on late replacement and Bellator veteran John Ott in
the main event of the evening.

Also featured on the card is "The New York Badass" himself, Phil Baroni.
In his first fight since his latest release from the UFC, he'll be going head on
against Nick Nolte in a
middleweight bout.

Rounding out the main card notables, is Titan FC 16 headliner Abe Wagner, as
he looks to build on his 32 second knockout of Big Tim Sylvia
against Team Punishment's Aaron Rosa.

Here is the complete Titan FC 17 line-up:

Star-divide

265 lbs.: Bobby Lashley wins by Unanimous decison over John Ott
Fight Recap:

Lashley came out strong, scoring with strikes against Ott. Lashley takes Ott down and commences with relentless ground and pound. Ott is bloodied and looks to be out at the end of the first round. He motions to the ref that he is still game. In the second Ott stands with Lashley. Lashley is visibly gassed out. He take Ott down again and delivers punishment with a "pawing" and slapping effectiveness. The round ends as Lashley's mouth piece is hanging from his mouth. The third round is where Lashley shows that he is nothing more than a collegiate wrestler with some WWE experience, learning nothing in his time in the game. He is visibly gassed out, mouth gaurd dangles and Ott strikes at will. Lashley takes Ott down, sustaining a cut in the process. He delivers just enough effort not to be stood up.


265 lbs.: Aaron Rosa def. Abe Wagner via submission (rear-naked choke) in Round 2
Fight Recap: Well, that was interesting. Rosa came out ready and
willing to stand and bang and he did so, largely getting the better of the
standing exchanges in the opening round. He eventually got a takedown and
cruised to the end of the frame. The second stanza saw more standing and banging
and Rosa landed a crushing left hook that sent Wagner to the mat. Follow up
punches opened him up and Rosa followed down, securing a fight ending rear-naked
choke shortly after.

185 lbs.: Phil Baroni def. Nick Nolte via unanimous decision
Fight Recap: Instead of
fighting like "The New York Badass," Baroni came out with a winning strategy. He
actually utilized his wrestling game and took Nolte down with relative ease in
the first two rounds, holding him down and scoring points. Once it got to the
third, though, Phil was completely gassed. Nolte could have taken advantage but
the many punches, elbows and knees he unloaded on a basically defenseless Baroni
weren't enough to put him away. About mid-way through, Baroni caught another
takedown, passed to side control and ended the round on top in dominant
position. It was ugly but a win is a win is a win, right?

150 lbs.: Eric Marriott def. Willian De Souza via unanimous decision
Fight
Recap
: More or less a mismatch in this one, as Marriott was simply too much
on the feet for De Souza to have any chance against. Once he finally did get him
to the mat, he couldn't take advantage and by the end of it, it was clear
Marriott was the better fighter in every way shape and form.

155
lbs.: Alonzo Martinez def. Aaron Derrow via majority decision

Fight Recap:
This was an unbelievable fight between two young guys that went out and gave
everything they had. After Martinez took the first two rounds on the scorecards,
Derrow came out with a head of steam in the third looking to finish the fight.
He nearly did so twice, once with punches and once with a rear-naked choke. He
just couldn't do it either times and he wasn't dominant enough in the round to
earn a 10-8 on enough of the judges cards (he earned one) so the decision went
to Martinez. Amazing fight.

155 lbs.: James Krause def. Nathan Schut via knockout in Round 1
Fight Recap: About 40
seconds into the fight Krause landed a huge head kick that sent Schut to the
floor like a sack of bricks. Follow up and it was over. Boom goes the dynamite.


135 lbs.: Anthony Gutierrez def. Jon Hollis via submission (triangle) in Round 1
Fight Recap: Gutierrez was the submission man in this
fight, as threatened with a kimura, an armbar and a triangle all within the
first few minutes of the fight. Hollis slammed his way out of the armbar but
couldn't escape the triangle and opted to tap instead of taking a short nap.
