He has a record of 27-10 and will look to win his 28th fight when he faces Jose Figueroa on the main card of Titan FC 31.

They will lead off the televised portion of the card which will air on the CBS Sports Network beginning at 10pm EST. Figueroa is a former M-1 lightweight champion and presents a tough test for Stinson.
