Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Howard Stern (ranked 2200 p4p, 2882 weight class) and Pucy McGraber (ranked 239 p4p, 313 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stern might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Great American Nightmare. McGraber is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kid Rock - Born Free. Howard Stern has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
