A Little Lawler/Manhoef Hype, Genghis Con Style (Videos)

A good hype video is like taking in the alluring aroma of crackling bacon before you devour your breakfast, dousing yourself in deer urine before you venture out to slaughter defenseless animals with your bare hands during hunting season, or getting really drunk before an important family gathering.  It's okay; we all engage in these trivial and comforting rituals.

First up, we have an interview from MMAFightingwith Robbie Lawler, where the Strikeforce middleweight comments on his last loss to Jake Shields, his thoughts on Melvin Manhoef as an opponent, and how he plans to stand and trade instead of forcing a ground game to avoid Melvin's stand-up. 

Now, on to the good stuff:  highlight extraordinaire Genghis Con has put together a hype video for Lawler's upcoming clash with Manhoef this Saturday on the "Strikeforce: Miami" card, which is entirely unnecessary for me, as I'm overwhelmed with anticipation for this bout as well as the Diaz/Zaromskis slugfest.  Enjoy the video, which is embedded beyond the jump, and visit Genghis Con's webpage to take in more of his artistic brilliance.
