Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joshua Syracuse (ranked 4999 p4p, 549 weight class) and John Tucker (ranked 5622 p4p, 589 weight class). Joshua Syracuse had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.9lbs, 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. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
