Titan FC 59 announced, includes welterweight title unification bout, Max Rohskopf return, more

Top Southeast regional promotion Titan FC has officially booked their first show of 2020.

Titan FC 59 takes place Feb. 28 at Xtreme Action Park in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The main card streams on UFC Fight Pass. The promotion recently announced the event and a handful of bookings. The rest of the lineup is expected to be announced in the coming days.

The main event features a 170-pound title unification bout between the promotion’s welterweight champion Michael Graves and interim champion Kamal Magomedov.

A former UFC fighter, Graves (8-1-2) has won back-to-back fights under the Titan banner. Conversely, Magomedov (8-0) won his promotional debut by submission at Titan FC 57 in October.

Additionally, highly-touted undefeated welterweight prospect Max Rohskopf is booked for his fifth professional MMA bout. The former North Carolina State University wrestling standout has translated his success to MMA, but has struggled to find opponents as of late. Named one of MMA Junkie’s 20 fighters who could become stars in the 20’s, Rohskopf (4-0) will face Brazil’s Paulo Silva (6-5).
