Aaron and Jamarcus both walked up to their side of the ring. They began to stretch and throw punches as Mr. Syvone cleaned up the ring and waited for it to dry. After a couple of minutes, Mr. Syvone stood in the middle and looked at both fighters. The fighters gave him a nod and Mr. Syvone cleared his throat.
"We are beginning the finals to decide who would be our representatives of the Amateur MMA tournament in two months. We start the finals in Flyweight. In the left corner, we got Landon Harris!" Mr. Syvone said as Landon walked up to the middle. He gets into a right foot leading stance as Mr. Syvone turns to the opposite side. "And in the opposite corner, Jamarcus Jeffery is there to be the challenger!" Jamarcus walked up to the middle and got into a right foot leading stance as well. "Are both fighters ready?" Both of the competitors shake their heads in agreement. "SET, GO!"
Jamarcus began by a step forward while Landon waited and moved to the left. Jamarcus adjusted as Landon began to move forward. Jamarcus spun himself using his right foot as a pivot for him. As Jamarcus turned, he jumped up and began to raise his leg. Landon ducked down and went in an angle to get behind Jamarcus. Landon immediately began to throw punches at Jamarcus' back. Jamarcus turned around to retaliate, but his opponent kept moving as He turned. This scenario played out for a bit until Jamarcus stepped forward and then turned to face his opponent.
"Damn it, I wanted that to keep happening for a while, I thought it was funny," Adrian said as he looked disappointed.
"I am surprised, he can make it here with just pure athleticism and hardly any skill," Martin said as he continued to watch both fighters begin to just start throwing jabs at each other.
"No he has some skills but not as good as Landon, though, but he is still great at some things," Jeremy said as he looked up to the match.
"What do you mean by that?" Martin asked as he looked at Jeremy dumbfounded. Jeremy pointed back up to the ring.
Jamarcus threw a hard hook as Landon failed to notice it. The punch landed as Landon seemed to stumble hard from it. Jamarcus smiled as he kept throwing punches at his opponent. Landon looked to just be wanting to take the punches as he tries to protect his face, mostly wanting his body to be hit as he tries to recover from the strong hit. As that was happening, Mr. Syvone blew his whistle to end round one. Both men walked to their respective corners and began to be treated by the trainers. Jamarcus looked more tired than Landon, while Landon looked more hurt than Jamarcus. Landon keeps checking his face, looking to find if anything broke or not. As both checked, Mr. Syvone looked at both sides and then up to the clock. After a while, he went back to the middle of the ring.
"Are you two ready for round two?" Mr. Syvone said as he stares at both of the fighters walks out of their corners. Both of them looked ready to go. "SET, GO!"
Jamarcus started off with his aggressive style trying to end this match fast. Landon started by mostly trying to play defensively by dodging the jabs. Jamarcus looked to begin to become more enraged than he was in the first round. His punches looked to increase in speed but in exchange for the speed, the accuracy looked worse. Landon was dodging them a lot easier than in the previous round. After a couple of dodging, Landon punched Jamarcus in the stomach. Jamarcus looked to have tanked the hit. Jamarcus then almost immediately attempted to throw a high-power punch but Landon stepped back to barely avoid the punch. The punch whiffed by hard as Jamarcus's body turned sharply. As that happened Landon saw his moment and took down Jamarcus to go into his better style of wrestling. Jamarcus was trying to get himself up as Landon was beginning to swipe at his hand. Jamarcus was getting put back down flat by Landon as it looked like he was not trying to go on the offensive immediately. Jamarcus kept looking more and more enraged as Jamarcus finally got out of Landon's hold. Landon was still trying to keep a good grip but he was not maintaining it. As Jamarcus was still trying to get himself up, Landon looked like he thought of an idea. As Jamarcus got up to his feet, Landon let go and went back down to take Jamarcus again.
"Damn this motherfucker is just turning this fight into a wrestling match," Adrian said as Landon successfully took down his opponent.
"Keep watching this match," Jeremy said as he was looking deeply into the match. "He got a strategy that is probably going to help him win this match."
Landon got Jamarcus back down but this time it was on his butt. As Jamarcus landed, he tried to crawl back. Landon grabbed at Jamarcus's knees and then pulled his opponent. Landon then gave Jamarcus a headbutt to his stomach. Jamarcus still looked like it barely hurt him, but it was enough to let Landon crawl himself up more forward. Jamarcus slowly got put more onto his back, Landon was struggling to get his target down. Jamarcus was trying his hardest to wrap around his arms at Landon's torso. Eventually, Jamarcus got his arm around Landon and throws him over himself. Landon got landed on his back and his face should that it looked painful. As Landon got slammed he instantly rolled onto his back and began to crawl back to his feet to not allow Jamarus to get an advantage. Both Landon and Jamarcus are back onto their feet. They begin to start jabbing at each other looking for a position to set up. As they were doing that, Landon looked to be enjoying himself. As Jamarcus looked at this smiled, he also begin to smile. Looking as if they mutually agreed to be enjoying this fight. Landon began to slowly begin to speed up his movement. He began throwing more punches at higher speed, but they seemed to lack the power similar to Jamarcus. Instead, they looked to be a lot more accurate as he landed a lot of punches. Jamarcus took these hits and seemed to be feeling more pain than compared to the earlier part of the fight. Landon kept throwing punches as Jamarcus looked to go more on the defensive which was surprising to the crowd.
"Does Jamarcus ever play defensively?" Adrian asked, looking over at Jeremy. "Because this seems to be something that is very surprising to the people."
"He barely plays defensively," Jeremy said as he looked up at Landon and kept jabbing at Jamarcus. "Landon truly wants to win this fight and Jamarcus seemed to respect his opponent in this match."
As Landon continued to throw jabs at defensive Jamarcus, Mr. Syvone looked at the clock and whistled to signal the end of the round. Both fighters walked back into their corners, both with big smiles on their faces. As they both sit on the stools as the trainers begin to clean them up of the blood and sweat off of their faces. Mr. Syvone continues to look up at the clock and at both fighters to see the progress of them being treated. He stood there for a while and waited until both fighters looked like they were ready to go for another round of fighting before he walked back to the middle.
"Are you both of you guys ready to go?" Mr. Syvone said as he looked at both of the fighters. Both of them nodded at Mr. Syvone. "SET, GO!"
Landon still looked excited from his previous round. He moved more quickly in comparison to the previous round towards Jamarcus. He looked to begin to wear down a bit. His movement was more sluggish and it looked like the hits that Landon landed hurt a bit more. Landon went more into the aggressive side. It looked as if a hunter finally cornered its prey. However, Jamarcus was not going to back down from this dude. Jamarcus looked to have regained some of his energy back as he immediately started to throw some hard punches. These punches looked slower than the first round and were even less accurate. Landon was just dodging around the punches trying to get himself into a good position to have his shots at Jamarcus. Landon then finally found a position where he gave Jamarcus a hard punch in his stomach. This punch looked to have removed the wind from Jamarcus as his mouth just dropped looking to get as much air as he can into his lungs. Jamarcus landed on the floor as Landon tried to get more punches in to end the fight. The crowd looked excited about the match that they were watching. The movement, determination, and technique of these fighters were surprising to some of these fighters as if they were trying to put as much as they can on the line. Jamarcus was trying to get himself to keep dodging Landon's punches as his opponent looked like wanted to end this match. Jamarcus eventually got back up, but he looked more beat up and was more exhausted. Jamarcus then began to continue his punches and they looked like this is the slowest it will be. Eventually, after a couple of dodges, Jamarcus landed a punch on his opponent, but Landon appeared to have taken it a lot better in comparison to the other rounds. Landon had a smile across his face as he threw some more punches at Jamarcus' face. Jamarcus was getting hit in his face over and over again as he was trying to block it to keep going in this fight. It got to the point where blood was flying out of his mouth as Landon was giving it all he got to finish the fight. Jamarcus looked like he was done and defeated with this fight. Landon caused Jamarcus to fall down for the final time and the crowd became very excited as Mr. Syvone stepped in to declare the fight a knockout.
"YOUR WINNER FOR FLYWEIGHT, LANDON HARRIS!" Mr. Syvone yelled as the crowd became loud and excited. They could not wait to see the next fights that were going to happen. Mr. Syvone whispered something to Landon as he walked slowly to the back, where the trainers gave him a box. "I am going to use Landon as an example of what is in these boxes." Landon reached into the box and pulled out the pair of fighter shorts that had the "MC" on the side of it. "These are the fighter shorts that we will be wearing throughout the whole tournament," Mr. Syvone said as he looked at the shorts. Then Landon reached more into the box and pulled out a small cup."This is a cup that we will use to do a hydration test," Mr. Syvone said as he reached for the cup. "You guys will go to the bathroom and take a piss in the cup, we will look at it to test to see if you are hydrated or not, and then we will send it to the tournament to be registered to enter in," Mr. Syvone said as Landon reached into the box to show a needle. "This is for blood testing to make sure none of you guys are using drugs at all. It is not only illegal in sports in general. It will not only remove you from the tournament but also suspend your fighter license. Landon will now go out of the ring to complete his testing with the trainers in the locker room," Mr. Syvone said as Landon walked out of the ring and followed the trainers into the locker room. "I will announce the next fight, it will be for Bantamweight Jeremy Gritham against Alfonzo Drummond!" The crowd grew excited.
