Tank Abbott fails physical, Dan Severn needs new opponent on March 20th

Bad news, MMA fans. The dream matchup of Tank Abbott vs. Dan Severn II has been squashed due to Abbott failing his pre-fight physical.

If you were looking forward to Ken Shamrock vs. Dan Severn rubber match -- because the rematch really necessitated one more fight -- your hopes were dashed when Shamrock was controversially stopped by Royce Gracie at Bellator 149 last month. Texas placed him on a 90-day suspension for a failed drug test, making him unable to compete on the March 20th UR Fight show in Arizona.
