When Mike Wilkins (4-1) was in middle school, his gym class needed to fill some time in the more relaxed days before a holiday break. The seventh-graders gathered in front of a television, and the teacher threw in a tape of UFC 1 for them to watch. It was a new experience for the Pittsburgh-area kid who had been too busy as a three-sport athlete to pay much attention to what was happening in other sports. “I didn’t quite understand what it was or what we were looking at,” Wilkins told MMAjunkie.
