KICKBOXER KRAIG GREEN hails from Lincoln. After making light work of his opponent at Wolkernight Fight Championship 3 with a Head Kick! He joined Ike on the podcast for a chat!
Initially, Kraig should have gone up against fellow fighter Aaron Slimane for a highly anticipated title fight, however his opponent was rescheduled. I personally hope that fight can still be made!
