Newfoundland’s own Gavin Tucker continues to make a name for himself in the world of Ultimate Fighting.
The 34-year-old native of Ship Cove on the tip of the Northern Peninsula defeated New York’s Billy Quarantillo in a unanimous decision in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
Quarantillo had won his previous eight fights, while Tucker now sports a 13 and 1 record.
Tucker, who goes by the nickname “Gov’nor,” was entered in the featherweight division. He now fights out of Halifax.
Remember the name!
