Titan Fighting Championships officials have called upon the Rosholt brothers to replace Drew McFedries and Rory Markham at Friday's Titan Fighting 18 event.An infection hospitalized McFedries on Monday, and budding thespian Markham was forced to leave the country for a film role.
After some lineup shuffling, UFC vet Jake Rosholt (11-3) now meets John Ott (8-8) in a 200-pound catchweight fight, and Jared Rosholt (2-0) meets fellow heavyweight Kirk Grinlinton (2-2).
Titan Fighting 18 takes place at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan., and Friday's main card airs live on HDNet.
"We were extremely disappointed when the management for Drew and Rory informed us of the news," Titan CEO Joe Kelly stated. "However, this is the fight business, and having promoted fights since the age of 24, I've dealt with a lot of hurdles in promoting shows. While losing Drew and Rory from the show hurts, we took the news in stride. I am very excited that the fans in attendance at Memorial Hall and those watching live on HDNet are going to see two future stars in this sport step up on short notice and test themselves."
