Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Seagar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Orlando Tucker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). John Seagar had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Orlando Tucker has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with John Seagar's chin.
