Titan FC CEO Joe Kelly has announced that Drew McFedries and Rory Markham will not compete at Titan FC 18 this weekend.
To fill the void, the promotion has booked UFC veteran Jake Rosholt and his brother Jared Rosholt. Jake will take on John Ott, while Jared has been matched with Kirk Grinlinton. The card takes place this Friday May 27 at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan.
The UFC released the elder Rosholt after a submission defeat at the hands Kendall Grove. Since leaving the promotion, the former wrestling star is 5-1 including a submission victory over John Bryant at Bellator 37.
Ott came into his last bout against Bobby Lashley on short notice. Despite competing as low as middleweight, Ott pushed the gargantuan heavyweight. Ultimately, he dropped the decision.
Jared Rosholt moved to 2-0 with a victory over Ray Clayton at Cowboy MMA last weekend. You can watch his professional debut against Dee Burchfield here.

I’ve never watched a single fight on Titan FC is it any good?
It depends on the fighters. I still think Jake Rosholt is going to be a top middleweight, so you should watch. His brother is an athletic heavyweight, which is still somewhat rare in MMA.
