PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damagon Enchărya (ranked 21 p4p, 129 weight class) and Robert MacArthur Jnr (ranked 4 p4p, 25 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Enchărya might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Blaxcaliber. MacArthur Jnr has chosen barbarian pipe band as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
