PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ben Dover (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Malurky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dover kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I'm Shipping up to Boston. Malurky comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I'm On a Boat kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Dan Malurky told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
