PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damagon Ench�rya (ranked 95 p4p, 78 weight class) and Shawn Antoski (ranked 17 p4p, 15 weight class). Ench�rya's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Blaxcaliber. 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?
