Titan Fighting Championship was forced to change a pair of bouts from their upcoming card.
Pedro Nobre and Gleristone Santos were expected to make their Titan FC debuts Friday night in Kansas City, KS, but were pulled out of the card with visa issues, Titan FC officials announced Tuesday.
Bill Friday, initially expected to face Nobre, now meets Kenneth Porter. Jeff Robbins takes Santos’ place in a featherweight bout with Kalvin Hackney. With the change, Anthony Guiterrez vs. Charlie Dubray was moved to the main card.
According to Titan FC officials, Brazilian Top Team’s Nobre and Santos will fight at Titan FC 28 in April.
