Resurrection Fighting Alliance acquires Titan Fighting Championship, AXS TV deal...

Resurrection Fighting Alliance today announced it has acquired Titan Fighting Championship.

The deal includes Titan FC's fighter contracts, as well as its current broadcast deal with AXS TV.

Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed.

Titan FC founder and president Joe Kelly will now work for RFA, which also added veteran MMA manager Ed Soares to his management team earlier this year.

"I am very excited to be working with the guys at Resurrection Fighting Alliance," Kelly stated. "I really feel like this is a partnership with all the potential for success. We are very like-minded with similar goals."

Titan FC launched in 2006 and hosted 25 events, many of which aired on AXS TV (formerly HDNet). Events have taken place primarily at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan., though the company branched out to Indiana, Missouri and Oklahoma during its six-year run. Fighters such as Alan Belcher, Jamie Varner, Tim Sylvia, Jens Pulver, Dakota Cochrane and James Krause have competed for the organization.

RFA, meanwhile, launched in late 2011 and has hosted three shows to date. Many top prospects and big-show vets have competed for the organization, which now joins the ranks of other nationally televised MMA promotions.

Officials today announced the organization's next show, RFA 4, will air on AXS TV on Nov. 2.
