PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rohith Sharma (ranked 558 p4p, 81 weight class) and Damagon Ench�rya (ranked 1101 p4p, 145 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sharma might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Do Your Thing. Ench�rya has chosen Blaxcaliber as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
