Titan FC 53 took place March 15th from Xtreme Action Park in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In a crazy turn of events, just before the Main Event was to take place, it was announced the commission had disqualified and suspended Flyweight Champ Juan Puerta for a positive marijuana test. He was set to defend the title against Gustavo Balart. In the Co-Main Event, which became the Main Event, Mike Graves became the Interim Welterweight Champion taking a decision from Jared Gooden. Round by round the fight was pretty much the same with Graves getting takedowns and while Gooden defended well, he couldn't get out of the position very often. Here are all your results and our Of The Night Awards.
