Just hours before Titan Fighting Championships 31 was set to begin, main event fighter Yoshiyuki decided to not compete in the main event against Mike Ricci. Yoshida was set to face Ricci in a three round catchweight bout, it was originally a lightweight title bout until Ricci failed to make weight. In response to Yoshida withdrawing from the bout, Titan FC officials simply decided to release the UFC veteran from the roster.

A featherweight division bout between Miguel Torres and Desmond Green will go from co-main event to the main event of the show. Additionally, a bantamweight division bout between Sirwan Kakai and Joe Barajas has been promoted from the main card.
