Titan FC signs prospect Hawes, veteran Cavalcante for Montreal debut

[MMALOPEZ]

According to CEO Jeff Aronson, the promotion recently inked Philip Hawes (3-0) and JZ Cavalcante (19-8) to six-fight contracts. Both fighters are expected to make their respective debuts at Titan FC 34 on a yet-to-be determined date in June in Montreal.


Cavalcante, a veteran of 11 years, has won two of his last three fights, winning his last bout in September.

Aronson said the plan right now is to book Montreal's Mike Ricci vs. Pat Healy for the TFC lightweight title in the main event, however, that fight has yet to be finalized. The promotion expects to announce the card's specific date, location and opponents for both Hawes and Cavalcante in the near future.

I really want to see JZ fight in the UFC at some point but I dont know if that will ever happen

I thought this was Rafael Cavalcante for a sec.

Go Pat Healy .

didn't know Titan was coming north of the border. Nice.

Alright, it'll be good to see JZ fighting on TV again. Hopefully he can put a nice win streak together in Titan FC.

Giving Ricci another title shot after he didn't make weight for his last one?

Now that's proper matchmaking.

Hawes seems an interesting prospect, seems he trains with Greg Jackson's lot.
