"Stay on your feet!" Whittier yelled from outside the cage, and his voice could be heard over all the noise.
Damon twisted his body, using his forearm to push Logan's head down, making it difficult for him to complete the takedown.
Logan grunted in frustration, but he kept his pressure on, forcing Damon to stay on the defensive.
Damon's mind raced. He knew he couldn't stay pinned against the cage like this.
He needed to create space, get Logan off him, and get back to controlling the distance.
With a sharp twist of his hips, Damon managed to free one leg and plant his foot on the cage.
In one swift motion, he pushed off, breaking Logan's grip just enough to slide out from the side.
He was free, but Logan wasn't slowing down.
Logan charged again, this time throwing a wild overhand right, but Damon ducked under it and countered with a sharp elbow to Logan's cheek.
