"Get him, Reagen!" The entire gym was filled with the roars of blood-hungry soldiers. For most, the MMA club was the only space they truly felt free on this god-forsaken army base.
Right now, the new kid was facing off against one of their favorites. Reagen had been a sort of leader figure amongst the cadets before Lucius came along and contested that authority.
He had just transferred from another base, and though they had welcomed him with open arms, a lot of them wanted to see what the overly-confident newby was made of.
Reagen was at least two heads taller than Lucius, and from his size alone, probably two weight classes above as well. The army's MMA club didn't divide cadets into different weight classes, besides, the enemy wasn't going to skip you just because you were a lower weight than they were, so matchups like these weren't too uncommon.
Lucius took the initiative, seeing that he had the reach disadvantage, he had to opt for a close-quarters brawl.
