The small hall was packed, every seat taken, and people standing in the aisles.
Unlike last time, when the first match had a sparse audience, today's event had drawn a much larger crowd.
Whether it was due to Damon's match or the growing popularity of Battle Xtreme, the result was the same - a buzzing, electric atmosphere that seemed to vibrate through every molecule of air.
On the table, Michael Bosley spoke through the broadcast, his voice clear and confident, carrying to wherever the show was being streamed. "Good afternoon, everyone," he said, his words accompanied by the sounf of equipment and the murmur of the crowd.
"After weeks of waiting, we're finally here - another show of Battle Xtreme. Last show, we had a spectacular card, and today isn't any different."
