Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sione Feti (ranked 1801 p4p, 241 weight class) and Howard Stern (ranked 2015 p4p, 270 weight class). Feti kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is S-Tool - Lights Out. The crowd seem to be enjoying Stern's choice of entrance music: The Great American Nightmare. Howard Stern has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
