PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tre Sykes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Bader (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sykes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Down With The Sickness. Tre Sykes looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
