Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Pucy McGraber (ranked 2545 p4p, 271 weight class) and David Tua (ranked 24342 p4p, 588 weight class). McGraber comes to the ring accompanied by Kid Rock - Born Free. Tua has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! David Tua has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
