Background
WOW 21 Starlite will be one of the most special events in WOW history. Much like the UFC with its International Fight Week, WOW has prepared the Marbella event as an event of international prestige.
So much so that the headliner includes a name with a UFC background, Welshman Brett "The Pikey" Johns. The British fighter, who boasts a 20-5-0 record, has five UFC victories, two in Bellator, and another in PFL on his resume. An impressive record.
