Highlights! Twister, Spinning Back KO, Former UFC Fighters
Cage Titans 57 was full of finishes.
Last night (Jan. 7, 2023), the first Cage Titans event of the year went down in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In the main event, former Ultimate Fighter finalist Joe Giannetti defended his Cage Titans lightweight title via a unanimous decision against Saul Almeida.
Is it time for Giannetti to return to the UFC? Time will tell. The 27-year-old is now riding a five-fight win streak and a two-division champion, holding the lightweight and welterweight belts.

⚠️ SLIPPERY PETE! ⚠️
Another one done and dusted, two in a row for Peter Barrett, his 10th KO as professional mixed martial artist. What a night from Plymouth!

Kicking off the main card of Cage Titans 57 was a twister win – one of the most rare submissions in MMA.
Gerald Meuse hit the twister on Joshua Beauparlant in the first round.
