Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by Sherdog Radio Network Program Director and Invicta FC play-by-play commentator TJ De Santis.
Ahead of Saturday night's Invicta FC 15, Breen picks De Santis' brain on what it's like to do weeks of radio covering a fight like T.J. Dillashaw-Dominick Cruz while individually focusing on another card that same weekend, his responsibilities as a “broadcast journalist” with an emphasis on the latter, what it's like to be the conversation starter for the biggest all-women's MMA promotion in the world as well as the professional stresses and pitfalls of calling a Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino fight.
Speaking of Cyborg, Breen and De Santis also break down her Invicta 145-pound title defense against Daria Ibragimova, whether or not Justino will ever end up at 135 pounds, if an eventual fight with Cindy Dandois will happen for the Brazilian, plus, a breakdown of the outstanding Livia Renata Souza-DeAnna Bennett strawweight title fight that should put one woman on the inside track to UFC 115-pound title contention.
Grab your credential and get a seat in “Press Row.”
