Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cairne Bloodhoof (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacob Rhubarb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bloodhoof might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ghostface Killah - Daytona 500. Rhubarb has chosen m.o.v.e - Over Drive as his entrance music. Cairne Bloodhoof could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jacob Rhubarb's chin.
