Cage Titans 37 streamed live from Plymouth, Mass., Saturday, Jan. 27, on FloCombat, bringing the return of 10-0 Manny Bermudez to MMA fans worldwide.
In the Cage Titans 37 main event, Seth Basler stepped up on a few days notice to face undefeated super prospect Manny Bermudez, who was originally scheduled to take on Mike Hernandez at the event.
Despite the late switch, Bermudez was quick to submit his opponent, needing just over one minute to sink in a triangle choke following a slick takedown.
As he left the cage, the crowd chanted “U-F-C,” and it this point, that seems the only option left for Bermudez. He is now 11-0 with nine first-round finishes in his professional career.
In the co-main event, Avery McPhatter did not make the weight for his scheduled middleweight title bout, but Sean Lalley did, making him eligible to win the title with a victory.
After an early stand-up affair which saw both men landing, McPhatter dove for a takedown and injured his shoulder in the process, slumping over and forcing the ref to step in. With the TKO victory, Lalley became the new Cage Titans middleweight champion.
