Moving forward, Bayless and Wayne will be sitting next to each other on the new version of Undisputed.

Lil Wayne Speaks

“I would hope so, I try to make everything I do better than the last thing I did,” Lil Wayne said. “Just to impress you just because I know how much you love ‘No Mercy.’ Just to capitalize on what you done. It’s not complicated. It’s not hard. I love the challenge of it anyway. I attacked it like an SAT exam, like if I don’t pass this, I can’t get in.” 

The New Theme

For now, the new format of Undisputed is getting mixed reviews. Skip had a hard time getting in any sort of commentary as Richard Sherman, Keyshawn Johnson, and Michael Irvin dominated the conversation. However, there does seem to be some potential for greatness here. Let us know what you think of the new version of the show, in the comments section below.
