Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Isiah Acer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Klein East (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Acer's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mad at Gravity- Burn. East has chosen Cold as Ice- M.O.P. as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Klein East has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
