Jerome “Da Mechanic” Mickle Bellator MMA Long Island Interview – Raffle Tickets | CCMMA Podcast
On Saturday, October 13, 2018, Jerome Mickle will be entering the cage for the second time under the Bellator promotion’s banner. This time, it will be a rematch between “Da Mechanic” Mickle and Kellenberg high school graduate, Nick Fiore. Last time these two warriors met inside the cage at Ring of Combat in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Mickle got the better of Fiore as he finished the Long Island fighter in the first round via TKO. This time, the two lightweight fighters will be battling at the NYCB Live – Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. Mickle plans to spoil Fiore’s homecoming, as he plans to leave the cage 2-0 against the one-time undefeated amateur (8-0) fighter. Fiore also has wins over two other fighters competing on the Bellator Long Island fight card as an amateur (Ryan Castro and James Gonzalez). The Main Event will be headlined by the “American Gangster” Chael Sonnen and “The Last Emperor” Fedor Emelianenko at Bellator 208.
Mickle (3-6) is looking to get back on track with a win in front of a Bellator crowd. Mickle is one of the most active professional fighters in the area, entering the cage for the fifth time in 2018. The Striking 101 fighter is coming off two submission losses to CFFC veteran, Bassil Hafez and UFC veteran, Frankie Perez. Mickle is preparing for a war against Fiore and has been working on his ground game as well. Expect this fight to remain standing as each fighter likes to exchange leather.
The Bronx native is not shy about living by the sword. He continues to do what has brought him thus far in his career, as he is a competitor that likes to leave with a finish or is willing to go down trying. Mickle’s last fight in Bellator, at Bellator 180 in Madison Square Garden, Mickle and Anthony Giacchina throw everything at each other, including the kitchen sink. Eventually, Giacchina scored a Rear Naked Choke on Mickle finishing the fight in the third round.
