PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Eric Laak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Klein East (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laak kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pain - Shut your mouth. East has chosen Cold as Ice- M.O.P. as his entrance music. Klein East struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
