Virgil Zwicker last fought at the “Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Cormier” event in May, where he dropped a unanimous decision to Carlos Augusto Filho. Prior to that he scored a first round TKO victory over Brett Albee at the “Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley” event in April 2011, and suffered a first round knockout against Lavar Johnson at Strikeforce Challengers 11. Zwicker now has the chance to get back into the win column with a good performance against Cook.
Mike Cook was last in action at “KOTC – Breaking Point” in August, where he was defeated via first round TKO by Trevor Prangley. Prior to that he picked up a first round submission victory over Owen Rubio at TWC 13 in January, and suffered a second round TKO loss against Lorenz Larkin at the “MEZ Sports – Pandemonium 4” event in February 2011. Cook will no doubt look to bounce back from his recent loss with a big win over Zwicker.
