Before long, Alex was back in the MMA gym. With his injury fully healed, he had become the same animal he was prior to being stabbed in the right hand. And within a week, his coach approached him with a fight offer, though it was to be taken on a week's notice.
Most fighters would pass on such an opportunity, as the risks far outweighed the benefits. But Alex wanted to step back in the cage as soon as possible, and rack up another win. He was quite confident that he would win, even if he only had a weeklong training camp. And thus, Alex accepted the offer, and spent the next week doing nothing but training and cutting weight.
By the time the fight arrived, the man had just barely made it to light-heavyweight. And looked more like a ghost than he did a man. But this quickly changed as he rehydrated over the next twenty-four hours. And when the music began to play, he looked like the same savage he always was.
