Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hip Hop (ranked 804 p4p, 107 weight class) and Hulk Butane (ranked 1009 p4p, 130 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hop might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hard in Da Paint. Butane has chosen Genesis as his entrance music. Hip Hop could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Hulk Butane's chin.
