UCL Suicide Kings Ends In A Heated Confrontation
Undefeated NYC fighter Jerome Mickle (9-0) refused to defend his belt and fight promoter Peter Storm in their scheduled 185 pound title fight citing Storm’s weight as the reason. Storm reputedly weighed in at 186 lbs roughly 3 hours before the fights began, then gained 6 pounds of water and banana weight. Mickle arrived after the fights began and weighed in at 177. A rehydrated Storm weighed in again at 192. When it was time for the main event, Mickle refused to fight the larger Storm who took to the ring and confronted Mickle in front of the UCL audience, the video is posted below. Hopefully the two will fight in a future event.
