Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos ROTTERDAM, Netherlands – Jon Tuck admits he’d prefer not to have his opponent change the week of a fight, as it did at this week’s UFC Fight Night 87 event, but he’s sure not going to let that be an excuse. “It sucks because you train a whole camp for some guy that you put your mind into, but you know, I’m sparring with everybody – high-level guys – whether it be standup or wrestling or whatever,” Tuck told MMAjunkie. “It doesn’t matter. I’m training with the best.” A Guam native now training in Southern California, Tuck (9-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) was expected to face Nick Hein (13-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) at UFC Fight Night Night 87, which takes place Sunday at Ahoy Rotterdam in Rotterdam, Netherlands. It airs on FOX Sports 1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. However, injury forced Hein out of the matchup , and undefeated newcomer Josh Emmett (9-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) accepted the fight on short notice.
