PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tre Sykes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tito Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sykes comes to the cage accompanied by Down With The Sickness. Ortiz has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Tre Sykes looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
