Titan FC has a new and often crowd-pleasing addition to its welterweight division: Ben Saunders.

Titan FC officials, as well as the Bellator MMA and UFC veteran, made the announcement on Tuesday.

Saunders (16-6-2), who signed a multi-fight deal, is expected to debut in the summer, likely to fight at Titan FC 29. Like other shows, it’ll air on CBS Sports Network.

“Killa B” first hit the national stage after appearing on “The Ultimate Fighter 6” in 2007. With a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and a prolific striking game, primarily from the clinch, the 31-year-old put on a series of entertaining bouts while posting a 4-3 record with the world’s largest MMA promotion.

Saunders eventually moved on to Bellator, where he’s spent the bulk of his career.

He fought 10 times for the promotion, amassing a 7-3 overall record with four knockouts and a submission win. He also made the finals of two of the three tournaments he entered, though Douglas Lima, who recently won the welterweight title, spoiled both of Saunders’ tourney runs.

Following his latest loss, which came to Lima in a tourney final at Bellator 100, Bellator and Saunders amicably agreed to split ways.

The fan favorite had won three straight fights before the release.
