Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bigfoot Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dutch Kush (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lil Wayne Feat. Mike Tyson - American Dream. Kush comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I'M T.N.T kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Dutch Kush told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
