From the moment the fight began, it was clear that this wasn't going to be a back-and-forth war.
This wasn't a test of wills. It was a lesson. Damon Cross wasn't just winning, he was bullying Shane Brickland.
Everything Shane was known for, everything that had made him the UFA middleweight champion, was being dismantled.
His relentless forward pressure? Useless. His high-volume jab that overwhelmed opponents? Negated.
His legendary durability and ability to walk through fire? Irrelevant.
Damon had a creepy sense of control over the cage. He blocked off angles and walked Shane down with complete confidence.
When Shane tried to set up his jab, Damon moved just out of range and easily countered with pinpoint precision.
A sharp right hand cracked against Shane's nose, forcing his head back, and before he could reset, Damon punished him with a vicious leg kick.
