Successful defence for Corby's Vucenic

Corby mixed martial arts star Jordan Vucenic marked his return to action by successfully defending his Cage Warriors featherweight title last night (Friday).

After a long spell on the sidelines due to a broken thumb, 'The Epidemic' returned in the Cage Warriors 134 main event and emerged victorious in front of a raucous crowd at the Indigo at the O2 in London.

Vucenic had previously been set for a much-anticipated rematch with Paul Hughes but, with the Irishman ruled out through injury, Vucenic faced James Hendin and secured the victory by submission in the second round.

The win was greeted with delight by both Vucenic and the good following from his hometown who travelled down to London to show their support.
