PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joosep L�hmus (ranked 8 p4p, 135 weight class) and Damagon Ench�rya (ranked 3 p4p, 28 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think L�hmus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Amon Amarth - The Way of Vikings. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ench�rya's choice of entrance music: 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?
