Each event, there will be a “guest predictor” who will offer their insight into the event and provide their predictions for each MMA bout.
For MFL 20, Liam Gallagher (5-0) has stepped in to provide his predictions and analysis for the eight MMA bouts on the card.
The former MFL bantamweight champion, Gallagher vacated his title to make his professional debut at BTC 13 last weekend but, unfortunately, his opponent, Kelvin Krause, withdrew from the fight due to unknown reasons. Following an impressive and undefeated amateur career, look for Gallagher to make his professional debut in early 2022.
