Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Richard Kuklinski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dace Javis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Javis is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Highwayman. On his way into the cage it seems that Richard Kuklinski has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Richard Kuklinski seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
