Aside from the Irish fans, no force was more omnipresent at this year's International Fight Week than Ben Rothwell. After successfully campaigning for a spot at the festivities, "Big Ben" made his presence felt from like no other fighter, attending virtually every event he could from Wednesday's open workouts all the way to Saturday's fight night, holding court wherever he went.
"It was awesome," Rothwell reflected on Tuesday's edition The MMA Hour. "... I felt like I had my own expo.
"They're talking about my fights, they're talking about what part of my fights they like, they wanted to hear the laugh, would I start dancing for them.
