Fans are patiently waiting for this fighting spectacle after it was shared via social media. It should be noted that Mike O’Hearn doesn’t boast professional MMA experience with many believing that he enters this contest at a clear disadvantage. Although he has maintained an extraordinary level of fitness into his 50s, some believe the discrepancy in technique might tell the story on the night of the fight.
‘Rampage’ Jackson has not only led an illustrious career as a UFC athlete, but he has also been a major face of the Bellator MMA promotion. Boasting longevity and a jacked physique at age 45, fans are overjoyed to see Jackson make his return in a combat sports setting.
Mike O’Hearn and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson aren’t the only two stars eager to clash this summer. In another unlikely event, boxing legend Mike Tyson confirmed a fight with YouTuber Jake Paul. Given that ‘Iron’ Mike is 30 years older than Paul, the combat sports world is curious how the battle will play out.
This summer promises to be full of action with Mike O’Hearn taking on UFC icon ‘Rampage’ Jackson in June. If O’Hearn does pull off the unlikely victory, it would only add to his legacy. Don’t miss the epic crossover fight featuring Mike O’Hearn and former UFC champ ‘Rampage’ Jackson later this year!
