Kurt Holobaugh Desmond Green  had to cut off his dreadlocks to make weight and defend his Titan FC featherweight championship against Strikeforce and UFC veteran Kurt Holobaugh  at Titan FC 33. Holobaugh had no intention of allowing the weight cut to be the most difficult part of Green’s weekend. The majority of the fight was contested on the feet, with Holobaugh (14-2) doing slightly more in the striking game while Green (14-4) would score with a takedown at some point in most rounds, but never being able to do significant work or truly control the fight. Holobaugh controlled the center of the cage when the two men were striking, forcing Green to retreat for much of the fight while Holobaugh picked his spots to throw strikes. Green’s trainer, Firas Zahabi, spent much of the bout imploring Green to utilize his wrestling, but Green was content to strike, rarely showing a commitment to try to get the fight to the ground over the 25 minutes of ring time, and that decision to stay on the feet and get out-struck cost him dearly
