The 5-foot-9 Jenkins could potentially have his face rearranged by the 6-foot Green.DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- When Brian Jenkins and Chris Green meet in the middle of the cage Saturday night at Breakthrough MMA 12, they will be coming from very different backgrounds.
Jenkins, 43, is the head football coach of the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats.
Green, 27, is a cook at Joe's Crab Shack.
Perhaps as close as they will ever come to sharing common ground will be in the moments following the signal to start the fight because, for however long it takes to sort itself out, the cook and the coach are going to try to beat one another into submission.
“People are in disbelief that (Jenkins) is actually going to go in there and do this,” Breakthrough MMA Promoter Jason Arnett said. “But this is for real. This is the same Jenkins that led his team to a (MEAC) championship. People are just in awe.”
