Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bob Friar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Syn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bob Friar had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
