Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Richard Kuklinski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samoa Joe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kuklinski kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Immigrant Song. The crowd seem to be enjoying Joe's choice of entrance music: Destroyer. The key to victory for Richard Kuklinski has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
