PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Malingo (ranked 2203 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Brooksbank (ranked 3342 p4p, 0 weight class). Malingo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Disturbed - Sound of silence. Malingo has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
