Hayder Hassan’s post UFC debut will have to be put on hold as the it was announced on Monday that Hassan had to be pulled from the fight due to an undisclosed injury. While Hassan was looking forward to fighting on the same card as his brother and showing his full potential, it will have to be another man’s opportunity to impress. That man fighting in his place is Hassan’s American Top Team teammate Taylor Krahl.
The 24 year old Krahl is stepping up with less than 2 weeks until the fight. Looking to overcome his promotional debut loss to Robert Turnquest this past September. Prior to that loss Krahl was on a four fight win streak, including two impressive TKO’s for local organization Absolute Fighting Championships. Standing in his way is Brazillian submission expert Adriano Capitulino. Capitulino is coming off the first loss of his young career, just 2 weeks ago, to former Ultimate Fighter 16 contestant Eddy Ellis.
Both fighters will be looking to make a statement and earn their first Titan FC victory. A loss for either man could mean being sent back to their local promotions, respectively. No doubt that this fight will be a battle of wills. Who will show the heart to overcome the adversity of opponent change and rebounding from a loss? With four title fights taking place, including the headliners Dhiego Lima and Jason Jackson, this card is sure to deliver. Tune in live to Titan FC 42 on December 2nd in Coral Gables, FL live on UFC Fight Pass.
