Team Whittier had a different day today.
The mood was much better, and there was a sense of relaxation in the air.
They broke their losing streak two days ago when Ivan made sure the other fighter couldn't stand up.
That victory had injected new life into the team, a much-needed boost after a series of defeats.
Now, the teams stood in front of their coaches once again.
Although the formalities were being observed, it wasn't really necessary.
Everyone knew who was going to fight next.
With only two fighters left who hadn't stepped into the cage, the next matchup was inevitable.
Damon stood quietly with his teammate. There was less tension than usual.
Ivan, fresh off his win, looked ready to support him.
The entire team seemed more relaxed, confident even.
On the other side, Team Chemasov was equally focused.
