[Sanzo wasn't the only high priest in need of money in the city. Abelas, being rather poor at taking orders from those he didn't find worthy (so everyone) was struggling finding and holding down a job. This seemed like an opportunity to put his skills to use and possibly make some money. The problem he was a whopping 5'6 and small, he had his magic, but he had to be discrete with how he used it, lest he be disqualified.
He was careful which opponents he took on. He got the easy ones out of the way while he observed those that would pose more of a challenge. The loud bellowing fool seemed like a good target. Even if he had skill, Abelas hoped to perhaps use this one's temper against him. Also the shouting was giving him a headache.
He stood from his seat and calmly strode into the arena, observing the other carefully.]

If it shall silence your shouting, then so be it.
