Congrats Michael Mucitell on winning his Pro Debut at Cage of Horrors. From what I understand Mike cut him up with a big right hand and was totally dominating the fight. In between the rounds the ref stopped the fight due to a cut. Congrats. Mike took this on short notice and performed awesome. Thanks to the guys that went up with him Darin Carol, Chris Roach, and Jordan Damon. Everyone at Tai Kai is proud of you Mike and had total confidence in you.
