Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Isiah Acer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ima Yerface (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Yerface has chosen In Flames - Like You Better Dead as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
