Karla Davis, Fight Time Promotions’ founder, CEO, and event producer had this to say on the promotions Facebook page following Fight Time 32:

"Congratulations to Vagner Rocha, who is the undisputed Fight Time Promotions' Lightweight Champion. In 2012, Rocha won his first title in the Fight Time Promotions' cage and victoriously defended it twice in 2013. Rocha returned to the UFC and vacated the Fight Time Promotions' Lightweight tile, but then came back earlier this year. Last Friday, during Fight Time 32; Vagner Rocha came back to regain his title and he did! No one has held the Fight Time Promotions' Lightweight title in the company's six year history other than: Vagner Rocha. We salute this world-class professional MMA fighter not only for his performance in the cage, but outside of the Fight Time Promotions' cage as well. Vagner Rocha epitomizes what a true champion is all about: integrity, respect and tenacity."
