The day dragged on as more fighters continued to filter in.
Damon spent a good portion of his time chatting with Svetlana on WhatsDown, updating her on the events of the day and discussing his thoughts about the fight and the upcoming challenges.
And well, just banter on the texts.
The lounge, though simple, had its distractions.
A TV mounted on the wall, connected to a game console, drew the attention of a few fighters.
They were engrossed in a heated match of UFA V, the latest video game simulation of their sport.
The sounds of the game, along with the occasional cheers and groans from the players, provided a backdrop of entertainment amidst the waiting.
Despite the long wait, the atmosphere in the lounge was far from dull.
Conversations flowed easily, and there was an underlying camaraderie among the fighters.
They shared stories of past fights, debated strategies, and exchanged tips.
