Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tito Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Machida The Coward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hopkins kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Public Enemy - Shut 'Em Down. The Coward is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: machida the best. Machida The Coward has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
