MMM 68: Saracen/Breekman PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Shields (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Tucker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tucker has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Michael Tucker was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
