Victor Dias started a new era in the Titan FC flyweight division on Friday when he took the belt from Wascar Cruz.
Dias (9-2) closed Titan FC 68 on a high note when he overwhelmed Cruz (10-5) on the mat until he secured a rear-naked choke that forced the tap at the 4:07 mark of Round 1, crowning the Brazilian as the new champion.
The event took place at the InterContinental Miami in Florida and streamed on UFC Fight Pass.

“I’m very happy,” Dias said through an interpreter in his post-fight interview. “I’d like to thank everybody who is here today. I’m very happy to be in a place with so many beautiful, honest people. I’d like to say that Titan now has a really flyweight champion and I’m going to fight hard to show how good of an event Titan is.”
