Championship gold and unfinished business collide Saturday, November 15th, as Cage Titans 74 storms back into Plymouth Memorial Hall — the promotion’s home base and proving ground for New England’s toughest talent.
With four titles on the line and one of the region’s most anticipated rivalries finally meeting inside the cage, the lineup feels less like a fight card and more like a statement. From rising amateurs chasing their first taste of glory to seasoned pros defending pride, this one promises the full spectrum of New England MMA chaos.

Amateur Flyweight Title: Calvin Dalton vs. Joziah Fry (C)
Few divisions deliver the kind of pace and precision that the amateur flyweights do, and this opener should set the tone early. Joziah Fry has quietly built himself into one of Cage Titans’ most consistent young champions — quick in the scrambles, sharp in transitions, and dangerous in the chaos.
Challenger Calvin Dalton steps in looking to upset the balance and claim his first Cage Titans title. Dalton brings pressure, aggression, and the confident energy that often defines first-time title challengers. If Fry’s composure holds and Dalton can push the tempo without gassing, expect a five-round firefight that sets a high bar for the rest of the main card.
Amateur Bantamweight Title: Thurman Hargrove vs. Ash Rao (C)
In contrast to the frantic flyweights, this bantamweight title bout might be the most technical of the evening. Champion Ash Rao brings a polished, methodical game — precise footwork, measured striking, and a knack for dictating tempo.
His challenger, Thurman Hargrove, thrives in chaos. Where Rao is patient, Hargrove is persistent. Where Rao sets traps, Hargrove smashes through them. It’s the classic striker-versus-strategist pairing that defines so many great amateur title fights.
If Rao can neutralize the pressure and stay off the cage, he could notch another clean defense. But if Hargrove forces a brawl, we could see an upset and a new belt changing hands.
Amateur Welterweight Title: Emilio Marquez vs. Jayden Curley (C)
At 170 pounds, Jayden Curley has become one of the more complete amateurs in the region — long, calm, and patient under fire. He defends against Emilio Marquez, a rising force known for heavy hands and relentless forward movement.
This one is all about composure versus chaos. Marquez has the kind of pop that can change everything with one exchange, while Curley’s strength lies in his ability to drag opponents into deeper waters and pick them apart from range.
In a division where so many amateurs rush their transitions to the pro ranks, both fighters seem intent on proving they’re ready for more than just a belt. Expect calculated violence — and potentially a future pro rivalry in the making.
Lightweight Fight: Tom Santos vs. Aaron Hughes
One of two non-title bouts on the main card doesn’t feel out of place among champions. Tom Santos and Aaron Hughes both carry the kind of quiet confidence that turns casual fans into believers.
Without gold at stake, these two get to fight purely for pride — and that freedom can make for the best kind of chaos. Expect a war of attrition at 155: heavy leg kicks, close-range boxing, and enough scrambles to keep the crowd on edge.
For Santos, after falling short in all five of his appearances under the Cage Titans banner, this is a chance to right the ship and break his streak of bad luck. On the other side, Aaron “Short Fuse” Hughes looks to make one final run toward a title.
Sometimes the fight you don’t circle on the poster becomes the one everyone talks about on the ride home. This could be that fight.
OG Title Fight: Johnny Campbell vs. Kenny Champion (C)
The OG Title has become one of Cage Titans’ most unique creations — a belt honoring the fighters who’ve built the promotion’s legacy while still giving fans meaningful matchups that bridge generations.
Champion Kenny Champion — yes, that’s his real name — earned the strap back in January and now returns for his first defense. Earlier this year, he ran into Jay Perrin in a tough outing, but now he looks to rebound and remind the crowd why his name belongs on the marquee.
Across the cage stands Johnny “Cupcakes” Campbell, a New England legend whose résumé reads like a regional hall-of-fame ballot. For Campbell, this isn’t just another fight — it’s a chance to reaffirm that the old guard can still put on a show.
Champion wants to cement a legacy. Campbell wants to reclaim one. And for the fans packed shoulder-to-shoulder in Plymouth Memorial Hall, this is nostalgia with consequences.
Flyweight Title Fight: Casey Norton vs. Isiah Torres (C)
Originally slated to defend his title against Andrew Valdina, champion Isiah Torres found himself facing a new challenge when Valdina was forced to withdraw. Enter Casey Norton, a fearless replacement stepping up to seize the biggest opportunity of his career.
Torres has shown poise and precision in past outings, blending crisp combinations with smart cage control. Norton brings unpredictability — a mix of pressure and grit that could test Torres’ composure early.
What makes this matchup fascinating is how organically it came together. It’s the kind of late-shuffle title fight that Cage Titans has built its reputation on — two warriors refusing to let circumstance stop them from throwing down.
If Torres defends, it solidifies his standing as one of the region’s best flyweights. If Norton shocks the crowd, it could be the start of a whole new storyline heading into 2026.
Main Event – Featherweight Fight: Joe Penafiel vs. Jay Perrin
Joe Penafiel and Jay Perrin have circled each other for years — exchanging words, crossing paths, and building tension every step of the way. Both men have represented the Cage Titans banner on the regional and national stages, both have fought the best, and both have been waiting for this.
Perrin has made it clear he wants to remind fans why he was always one of New England’s top dogs. Penafiel, ever the showman, lives for these kinds of moments — chaos, emotion, and a packed Hall ready to erupt.
There’s no belt on the line here, but none is needed. This is personal — a rivalry that’s lived on social media, in interviews, and in the memories of longtime Cage Titans fans finally finds its resolution under the bright lights.
The Hall Awaits
From amateurs chasing dreams to veterans defending legacies, Cage Titans 74 captures everything that makes this promotion so beloved. It’s loud, it’s local, and it’s unapologetically raw — a night where the crowd feels every punch, every scramble, and every finish.
