#EliteXOakland

As the opening promotional video for the main event of the evening comes to a close and the Elsyain feed transitions inside the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California. The main camera now focuses on the center of the ring, making sure to get a note of all sponsors on the canvas and especially the Elysian Network logo in the corners as green and gold lights flash everywhere. The anticipation is beginning to build inside the Oracle Arena for this action packed event. The lights go off for a brief moment before pyro goes off and the lights turn back on without the colored lights. The camera focuses on the hot Californian crowd, Panning around the arena capturing the cheering and clapping in excitement. The camera turns to ringside where the broadcast team of JMilly, James Shark and Zara Michaels are sitting at the desk ready to call the action here tonight.

ZARA MICHAELS: Fight Fans we are live in Oakland, California and we are live on Elysian pay per view! I’m joined by my broadcast partners, The combat Sport legend himself…. James Shark and of course the voice of Elite.. JMilly!

JMILLY: WEST COAST THE FUCK IS UP? WE UP IN THIS BITCH AND WE TAKING OVERRRRRR CALI TONIGHT!

JAMES SHARK: You always on some next level hype man!

JMILLY: We gots a lot to be hyped about my bald friend! We got The heavyweight main event for the WBF Championship, We’ve got theeeee Murder Reign herself making her boxing debut tonight!!! My G, Fisk Witta 44 on the card and We got Dylan ‘Lets fucking scrap my O’Brien!!!! This going to be a goood ass night of boxing!

JAMES SHARK: I shave my head, I ain’t bald fuck you mean? But ignore that right now because you right about the rest of it! DeMarcus Gresham Versus Tommy Knox, Marissa Kane Versus Anthony Aguila, Daniel Fisk Jr Versus Mike Hunt are three big fights and you can’t forget Dylan O’Brien versus Prince Mattisse, the winner will go on to face Jose Garcia for the WBF Middleweight Championship!

ZARA MICHAELS: But you’re both forgetting that we have some impressive fighters lower down on the undercard, Reece Mitchell Makes his Welterweight debut against Leo Parks, We’ve got an exciting prospect in Kyle Hearns Jr making his Elite debut, You’ve got Sheyanne Successful making her boxing debut and of course we’ve got the return of Tim Crosby, the Gypsy King! Many expected Crosby to face Fra McCulloch in a rematch but McCulloch is still medically suspended because of the cut he received in the last fight!

JMILLY: Fra McCulloch must be sitting, watching these fights and being disappointed as fuck that he isn’t in the ring. That fight basically made him a star in the sport and he can’t follow up on it because of that cut!

JAMES SHARK: If he’s smart he’ll be focusing all that frustration of being on the sidelines and putting into training, keep working on getting better, finding that monster that’s inside of him then unleashing it on his opponents!

ZARA MICHAELS: There are some big fighters waiting to return and when they do each division will have some extra firepower. You’ve got McCulloch in the heavyweights, Romeo Yates in the middleweights since we don’t know his current situation, Billie Horn at welterweight and another one we don’t know about their current situation, Kyan Bishop.

JAMES SHARK: Kyan’s situation is hard because he’s been ordered to fight his mandatory by the WBF! Kyan doesn’t want to take the fight until there is more money on the table, he made a career high against Chase Vega and I completely understand him not wanting to take a step back in purse… So, it’s all about it he can get more money before he agrees to the fight!

JMILLY: I been knowing Kyan his whole life, if he doesn’t want to do something then he won’t do it! He won’t care if they are threatening to strip him of the belt or not, He’ll happily let them take the belt and just win it back later. That’s the mentality of Kyan, he isn’t going to let anybody play with his money!

ZARA MICHAELS: But things like that are the reason boxing was seen as dying out until Elite came along! It’s supposed to be the best in the division versus the best in the division, not fight whoever you want for the most money.

JAMES SHARK: At the end of the day Zara, We’re prize fighters… we’ve got to fight for a prize and money is the prize that we want! Belts are great and all but at the end of the day they don’t pay the bills, they don’t feed our kids. Now, you can maybe say that Kyan is young… he’ll make a lot of money but that isn’t guaranteed in boxing, he could lose it all in his next fight!

JMILLY: The WBF have granted Kyan an extension to get the fight signed, so hopefully it all gets worked out soon but the WBF are closing in ok crowning champions in every division, the Heavyweights tonight, the Middleweights are awaiting the last finalist that will be decided tonight and the Welterweight tournament kicks off tonight!

ZARA MICHAELS: The welterweight division has come out of nowhere and has become the most talked about division, I think! It started with Anthony Aguila and Billie Horn, Then comes Zion Rodgers, Luca Brasi drops down from middleweight, Hector Jones, Leo Parks and Jaime Rivas signs.

JAMES SHARK: Then you’ve got Chase Vega and Reece Mitchell stepping up from lightweight! That division has just recently exploded! All the attention has been on the lightweights and the heavyweights but all the divisions are getting the spotlight on them right now!

JMILLY: That's what we as fight fans want though! We want booming divisions, We want hungry fighters coming for the throat every fight.

ZARA MICHAELS: Talking of Hungry fighter’s, our opening contest of the evening is a hungry fighter from Manchester, England that is looking to cement himself as a rising star! Reece Mitchell is currently 2-2 in Elite, he recently came back from his brutal knockout loss to Chase Vega at Boardwalk Hall to knockout Jett Wilder and defeat Aleja Aparicio before losing to Kyan Bishop. So both of his losses are against number 1 and number 2 in the lightweight division, tonight he is out to leave his imprint on the welterweight division!

JMILLY: He switched camp recently to the Lair and I’ve been seeing him go to work ahead of this weight jump! He’s looking sharp, he’s looking strong and he’ll be looking to put Leo parks to sleep early!

JAMES SHARK: Leo Parks has some hype behind him but after his loss to Luca Brasi in Toronto, he’ll be looking to pick up a big bounce back win tonight! It’s going to be hard for him though because coming back from that KO loss, you’ve got to wonder about his mentality heading into this fight!

ZARA MICHAELS: As we’ve seen previously in elite, those coming back so soon after the big loss like that never seem to recover well! So that might be the biggest question mark over Parks tonight, He has the talent, that can’t be denied but will he mentally be ready to go to war with someone that is as switched on as Reece Mitchell, we’ll need to find out!

JMILLY: We’ll be getting this one underway soon but right now we’ve got a little promotional video courtesy of the talented people at the Elysian Network!

The Elysian Cameras opens up inside The Lair gym in Brooklyn New York. Manchester born fighter, Reece Mitchell is seen sparring in the ring during his camp. The 2-2 fighter was looking sharp ahead of his Welterweight debut. His combinations were looking smooth and his movement was on point in this sparring session.

REECE MITCHELL: This camp has been good. Because I don’t have to cut any weight, I’m feeling like I can accomplish more in camp. I know all the pressure is on me in this fight, I’ve got to go out there and put on a good performance, I’ve got to announce myself to the welterweight division in a big way. I’m ready to give everything on the night!

The feed transitions inside of the Aztec Boxing Gym in Mexico. Leo Parks, the 2-1 fighter, is seen working on the pads with his trainer. Parks was looking very crisp with his combinations. He knew he had a tough task ahead of him as he goes against someone with real punching power.

LEO PARKS: I know what Reece Mitchell brings to the fight, I know he’s going to try pressure me early and I need to stop him. He speaks on the pressure being on him but really the pressure is all on me after I lost to Luca Brasi. I need to win this fight and I need to win his convincingly! I didn’t come here to be a stepping stone for anybody!

Once again the feed transitions back to Lair gym. Reece Mitchell is unleashing some powerful shots on the heavy bag. His coach, the legendary Lorenzo Vidal is watching over him as he goes to work. The usually unimpressed Lorenzo Vidal is showing signs of being impressed with his newest recruit.

REECE MITCHELL: I’m not even thinking about advancing in the WBF welterweight tournament! Sure, it will be great to get to the next round but I’m taking it one fight at time! I’m not focusing on who is next, I’m focusing on getting Leo Parks out of the way and getting him out of the way early! I know I’ve got all the tools to beat him. Luca Brasi gave me the blueprint on how to drop this guy, I need to implement that blueprint perfectly!

Leo Parks and Reece Mitchell come face to face at the weigh ins. They both stare each other down for a few moments. Reece Mitchell smirks at his opponent for a moment before running his thumb across his throat, playing up his grim reaper nickname.

LEO PARKS: As strong and as fast as he is, he doesn’t intimidate me! He is just a man at the end of the day, I will exploit the weaknesses in his game and He will fall on the night! I’m not allowing him to make a splash in his Welterweight debut, I’m going to show him that he doesn’t belong in this division and he should have stayed at lightweight, it safer there for him.

Once the promotional video ends, the cameras return to the commentary both before the start of the opening contest.

JMILLY: I’ve been around Mitchell’s camp and I’ve got to say, he’s looking really good! This is his first fight under Lair and Lorenzo Vidal, So he’ll not only want to make a splash in his new division but he’ll also want to secure the victory for his new team.

ZARA MICHAELS: Lorenzo Vidal is a legendary trainer but this being his first camp with Reece and of course adding that this is Reece’s first time jumping to this division, do you expect him to really be that perfect going into this one?

JAMES SHARK: Welterweight is Mitchell’s natural weight, so he’ll be comfortable at this weight! This might be the smartest move for Mitchell, you noticed at lightweight that he didn’t really have the power that we know he has.

ZARA MICHAELS: His only knockout win was over Jett Wilder at Elite x Brooklyn!

JMILLY: That was a perfect display from Mitchell, he was near perfect for every second he was in that ring!

ZARA MICHAELS: Does he need to be near perfect tonight to secure the win here against Leo Parks?

JAMES SHARK: He doesn’t need to be perfect to secure the win but he needs to be perfect to show that he really is going to be a force in the division! Anything less than a perfect performance then he hasn’t done his job right tonight!

ZARA MICHAELS: What about Leo Parks? Is this really as big a fight for him as he is stating that it is?

JMILLY: Of course! He was knocked out on his elite debut. Granted he lost to a man with a 100% knockout percentage but he still lost in his debut, he didn’t even make it past the second round! This is a second chance for him to make an impression on the division!

JAMES SHARK: Like we’ve been saying, there is a ton of new eyes on this division and only the very best are going to rise to the top. Leo Parks has already tainted his own name in this division, he’s getting an opportunity to fix that tonight! If Leo Parks beats Reece Mitchell tonight then you can maybe write off his fight with Brasi as being nerves, the big occasion got to him but to do that then he also needs to have a perfect performance tonight!

JMILLY: This is really a make or break fight for both of these men in this division! If Reece Mitchell loses, his name still holds enough value to get big fights at lightweight but he won’t get a big fight at Welterweight…. if Leo Parks loses then he is basically putting himself in the Agustin Gates category of boxers!

ZARA MICHAELS: Do you have any predictions for this one before we get this underway?

JMILLY: Reece Mitchell, sixth round knockout!

ZARA MICHAELS: Is that what you believe or what you want to happen?

JMILLY: Both! I do believe Mitchell is going to finish him tonight but I also want Mitchell to finish him tonight!

ZARA MICHAELS: Shark, what about you?

JAMES SHARK: Reece Mitchell needs to knock him and he needs to do it before the third round in my opinion! He needs to prove he’s on par with Luca Brasi and knocking Leo Parks out in the same time or quicker does that!

ZARA MICHAELS: We’ll we won’t be waiting long to find out as both men are about to make their ring walks.

Leo Parks comes out from the entrance tunnel flanked by his team at Aztec Boxing. The Mexican and his team both making their way down towards the ring, he gets a couple of cheers from some Latin fans in the arena. The 2-1 fighter looks calm and collective as he’s about to go into his second bout of his elite career.

JMILLY: Parks is looking ready for this one! He had that look in his eyes!

JAMES SHARK: He’s calm and he’s good right now! Does he stay that way throughout the fight or will it fall apart if Mitchell manages to implement his game plan and dictate this fight!

ZARA MICHAELS: That's another question that both of these men have to answer tonight. Can they find a way to win when things aren’t going their way? We’ve yet to see it from either men!

Leo Parks and his team enter the ring. Leo Parks slowly walks around the ring, taking it all in for a moment. Reece Mitchell comes out with his team
From Lair Brooklyn, the Young Manchester fighter was looking extremely confident as he was about to make his welterweight debut, he got a decent reception from the crowd. As he makes his way to the ring, his coach Lorenzo Vidal gives him some last minute advice ahead of this contest.

JMILLY: Mitchell is looking laser focused! He’s confident that he can pick up the victory tonight! This isn’t an easy job but Mitchell seems to believe he has all the tools to win this fight and win it convincingly!

JAMES SHARK: Like I said earlier. He needs a perfect performance tonight… he needs to be the best version of Reece Mitchell to leave his mark on the the welterweight division!

ZARA MICHAELS: There's so much on the line for both men tonight! A place in the welterweight semi finals, Cementing their place in the division…. it really is all up for grabs for the victor tonight but like Shark said, this needs to be a perfect performance for either man!

Once Reece Mitchell and his team enter the ring. Reece Mitchell begins to bounce around the ring without breaking eye contact from Leo Parks. Everywhere he went his eyes followed him. The Mancunian fighter was trying to play some mental warfare with his opponent.

JMILLY: The way Mitchell is looking at Parks is the way animals look at their prey!

JAMES SHARK: Parks isn’t falling into the trap though! He staring right back at Mitchell like ‘what’s good?’!

ZARA MICHAELS: Whilst the referee goes over the rules for this contest let’s take this time to have a little look at the tale of the tape!

PARKS VS MITCHELL

ZARA MICHAELS: Mitchell comes in 10 pounds heavier. 3 inches taller and a 1.5 inch reach advantage over Leo Parks!

JMILLY: Mitchell has more experience also… he’s been in 26 more rounds than Parks and he’s actually shown to have knockout power!

JAMES SHARK: All the signs point towards a Reece Mitchell victory but this is boxing, anything can happen in boxing!

ZARA MICHAELS: It’s going to be an interesting fight, so let’s send this over to Ainsley Flacco to get this opening contest started!

The teams vacate the ring and both men are standing in their respective corners as Ainsley Flacco climbs into the ring to do the official introductions for this fight.

AINSLEY FLACCO: This opening contest is scheduled for ten rounds and it is in the welterweight division! This fight is also a Welterweight title eliminator… introducing first, he is fighting out of the blue corner…. he has a record of two wins and one loss...He weighed in for this fight at 160 pounds…. from Reynosa, Mexico… representing the Aztec Boxing Team… LEOOOO LIONHEARTTTTTT PARKKKS!!!

Leo Parks raises his hand as he bounces on the balls of his feet. He looks over at his opponent who is just staring at him with no emotion on his face.

AINSLEY FLACCO: And introducing his opponent, fighting out of the red corner…. he has a record of two wins and two losses with one knockout victory…. he weighed in for this fight at 170 pounds….. from Manchester England… Representing Lair Brooklyn… REEEEECEEE THE GRIM REAPERRRRRRR MITCHELLL!

Reece Mitchell doesn’t take his eyes off of his opponent as he beats on his chest and runs his glove across his throat, signalling that this was about to be a murder scene.

JMILLY: Reece looking at Parks like he wants to take him out hella early!

JAMES SHARK: His entire aura has changed since he got into the ring! He went from being calm and confident to being in that ‘I’m killing this guy mode!’

ZARA MICHAELS: Mitchell is looking completely in the zone right now and as I previously said this is going to be an interesting fight! I can’t wait to see what happens!

Attica Lawson does her ring walk with the round one card before The referee checks both men are ready before calling the bell to start this action, the crowd were expecting some fireworks to start off this show.


LEO PARKS VERSUS REECE MITCHELL
WBF WELTERWEIGHT TITLE ELIMINATOR
ROUND ONE

Reece Mitchell and Leo Parks touch gloves in the center to get this fight started. Mitchell backs away for a moment as Leo Parks goes with a straight right but Mitchell shifts his body to the side to avoid it before countering with a wicked punch to the side of the head that has rocked Parks. The look in Parks eye’s told the whole story as the Mexican fighter was dazed and confused after that shot connected with him. Reece Mitchell moves around a little as Parks guards up, Mitchell was focused as he moves forward looking to inflict more punishment on Parks. Parks throws a quick hook to try catch Mitchell off guard but it’s no good as Mitchell dodges and fires off an uppercut that almost puts Parks into orbit. Reece Mitchell is about to follow up with another punch but before he can even pull the trigger, Parks hits the ground like he has just been shot. That surgical strike by Reece Mitchell has left Parks unconscious on the canvas. The referee waves off the fight and Reece Mitchell runs to the corner to celebrate with his team as the referee continues to check on the unconscious Leo Parks.

JMILLY: Hope fucking shit! We’re not even a minute into this round and The Grim Reaper has collected his first soul at Welterweight!

JAMES SHARK: The talk about Mitchell being more comfortable at this weight to unleash his vicious knockout power is true! He was in the zone, he knew what he was planning on doing, he stepped back in the opening seconds and let Parks come onto his. That wicked punch to the side of Parks head basically had him out on his feet! There was no coming back after that one, Mitchell knew he was putting him away!

ZARA MICHAELS: Reece Mitchell has just announced himself to the Welterweight scene in a big way tonight! You seen it in his eyes, he wouldn’t take them off of Leo Parks tonight…. he was studying every movement and the second Leo Parks left himself open the Grim Reaper took his shot!

JMILLY: That’s Lorenzo Vidal’s training! Lorenzo is all about studying your opponent because he’s always said the eyes always give it away and tonight it paid off in a big way for Mitchell and Lair!

JAMES SHARK: Mitchell could be a problem for anyone in this division! He’s got some big competition to face in this division and he’s scheduled to fight the winner of Kane/Aguila in the next round… that is a major step up for him. We know all Aguila as a fighter and how dangerous he can be but we know nothing of Marissa Kane as a boxer…. we know she is hands down the greatest female mixed martial artists of all time but this isn’t MMA, the striking game is a different breed…

ZARA MICHAELS: I think right now that Mitchell is feeling himself just enough to fancy his chances against anybody!

The referee brings both fighters to the middle of the ring for the official decision. There are a lot of smiles coming from Reece Mitchell and The Lair training team whilst his opponent looks dejected. Ainsley Flacco gets in the ring to give the official decision.

AINSLEY FLACCO: This contest has been brought to a halt at 37 seconds of round 1!! Declaring the winner Via Knockout…. Reeece ‘The Grim Reaper’ Mitchell!

Reece Mitchell has his hand raised in the air by the referee as a member of his team lifts him up in celebration.

ZARA MICHAELS: Before we go back to the post fight interview, let’s quickly take a look at the stats for this fight. Reece Mitchell had 2 powerful punches and both of them land, whilst Parks had 2 punches and neither of the land! It was a quick night's work for Reece Mitchell!

JMILLY: It wasn’t even about the power of Mitchell’s 2 punches tonight though, it was about the timing, the speed, the accuracy that he connected them with! He didn’t rush in, he took his time and made sure he was landing perfectly!

JAMES SHARK: We said Mitchell had to be perfect tonight before this fight and despite the fact we only got to see him in action for 37 seconds…. he was perfect for those 37 seconds! Are there still questions to be answered about Mitchell at Welterweight? Yea, there are a couple of questions that need to be answered but if he approaches every fight like he did tonight? Well then he’ll answer them and answer them in a big way!

ZARA MICHAELS: Where does Leo Parks go from here though? We know Mitchell is going upwards but what about his opponent?

JMILLY: Leo Parks has to go back to the drawing board, he has to rest up, reevaluate then return. He can’t jump back in quickly after this one, he has to go and really learn from this loss!

JAMES SHARK: I’ve got to agree with Milly! If he returns quickly to the ring then he hasn’t given himself enough time to recover and if he hasn’t given himself enough time to recover, well we will be seeing him on the canvas again! This is the opportunity for him to go back to the gym, refocus, replan and then rebuild! He’s certainly going to have a medical suspension from the athletic commission after this one, so that’s going to give him plenty of time to figure this all out!

JMILLY: Taking back to back L’s is hard to deal with especially when you’ve been put on the canvas in both of those fights! He’s only 25 Years old, he still has a lengthy career ahead of him but only if he makes the right choices from this moment on! If he wants to compete at the Elite level in this division or any other division then he has to rebuild from the ground up! He won’t be the first fighter to do it, we’ve seen Mitchell himself do it, we’ve seen Paris Falkov do it, Billie Horn is in the middle of doing it and even the main event, Tommy Knox he was knocked out cold in his first fight, he rebuilt and now he’s fighting for the championship here tonight!

ZARA MICHAELS: Only time will tell if he has it inside of himself to make those changes but right now it’s back over to the ring as Ty Lyons is in there ready to get a post fight interview with Reece Mitchell!

Leo Parks had left the ring to go get medical attention whilst Reece Mitchell stayed behind to get in his interview. Ty Lyons was in the ring with the Grim Reaper and his team as they got set to kick off the interview.

TY LYONS: First off, you done knocked that boy the fuck out! That was big time statement stuff, so Salute to you! What does this mean to you?

REECE MITCHELL: Tonight meant a lot to me, not because of the opportunity to advance to the next round of the tournament but because it was first camp with Lair, I wanted to be able to show Lorenzo Vidal and the rest of the team that I’m worth putting their time into. They gave me the game plan and I had to show them that I could execute it!

TY LYONS: And you executed it perfectly! Was it all the plan to chase the early knockout or did it just play out like that?

REECE MITCHELL: It wasn’t the plan to really finish him, it was more to be less aggressive, don’t try to land punches that were considered a risk! It was about taking a step back, reading what he was trying to do in the fight and taking advantage of mistakes he would make! Lorenzo told me keep watching his eyes because his eyes will give him away and they did, I kept focused and I knew what punches he was going for, so it was all about reacting in time then getting off my counters!

TY LYONS: Do you feel that you’re a better fighter since switching camps? Because the Reece Mitchell we saw tonight was a different type of Reece Mitchell from the one we’ve seen previously!

REECE MITCHELL: It’s a working progress every time we get in the gym! I’ve still got some bad habits that we need to work on and correct, I’m not the fighter I need to be right now but we are on the right path to being the fighter I need to be!

TY LYONS: One last question before you go… Do you plan on sticking around at Welterweight or do you have plans to go back down to lightweight?

REECE MITCHELL: Right now, the goal is to stay at Welterweight… I feel comfortable at this weight! I walk around about 170, so I’ve been cutting a good 20 pounds to get down to lightweight and it’s even possible that I can go up to middleweight but right now it’s all about developing at Welterweight and continuing to work with Lorenzo Vidal to be the best I can possibly be at this weight class!

TY LYONS: Salute for giving us your time tonight, I know you’ll be wanting to party and relax after that gruelling camp but forreal after that performance we can’t wait to see you back in the ring.

The pair bump fists as the Elite camera feeds move over to ringside and we see Gizmo standing with Reece Mitchell’s team mate, Luca Brasi who is standing next to his girlfriend and Quag inc recording artist Lalaina. The 4-0 welterweight fighter seems to be very happy for his teammate tonight.

GIZMO: Luca, your boy pulled out a hell of a first round knockout… how you feeling about that?

LUCA BRASI: It was a big win for Lair but more importantly it was a big win for Reece! He’s hit some road blocks in his career, you could say he was his own worst enemy at the start of his career but he’s finally got the right support system around him with Lorenzo Vidal, so I think now we are going to see the very best of Reece Mitchell and that could be very scary for the welterweight division!

GIZMO: No doubt but now he’s in your division, do you think y’all will ever fight? It’s got to happen at some point!

LUCA BRASI: Neither of us are stupid, we know that our paths are going to cross at some point but right now that’s the furthest thing from my mind and probably his too. We are both just looking to keep progressing as fighters and make the most of our careers… neither of us will shy away from fighting if that moment comes but right now it’s all about racking up wins and getting us to where we need to be as fighters.

GIZMO: Would be a good ass fight tho, two knockout artists going at it… that’s the stuff the fans love to pay for!

LUCA BRASI: It would be a great fight, we’ve known each other since we were eight years old! We’ve spent our entire life’s together boxing, we know each other’s strengths and weaknesses in the ring! Right now though, I’m just so happy for him! I’m just happy that he’s back in the ring and he’s back fighting like the Reece Mitchell that I know him to be!

GIZMO: Bet but before we go I’ve just got to ask when will you be back in the ring and who do you plan on fighting?

LUCA BRASI: I’ll be back soon, I’ve just signed the contract to fight Zion Rodgers in Boston in April! That’s going to be a WBF Welterweight title eliminator!

GIZMO: That’s gone be a big ass fight! Well Luca thanks for giving us your time here tonight!

Luca nods and was about to speak but as he does Reece Mitchell with Lair Brooklyn walks past him. Luca grabs a hold of Reece Mitchell, embracing him in a hug.

LUCA BRASI: I’m so fucking proud of you!

REECE MITCHELL: Couldn’t have done it without you!

The feed transitions back to the commentary booth as the two men part ways.

JMILLY: Brasi Versus Rodgers will be a great fight! You’ve got a man with a 100% knockout record going against someone that can adapt to any style, it’s got the potential to be a fight of the year candidate!

JAMES SHARK: It will be a great fight that’s for sure but let’s just talk about the renewed bond between Brasi and Mitchell. They had a heated fall out last year when Brasi left the Firm gym to join up with Sha Bishop, they couldn’t stand each other and now the progression they have made… Brasi telling Mitchell that he is proud of him, Mitchell telling him that he couldn’t have done this without him.

ZARA MICHAELS: Like Luca said, they have been friends since they were eight years old back in Manchester, they learned to box together at the Firm. It was probably one of those moments that Mitchell didn’t understand that Luca had to go and advance his career, but now I think Mitchell understands that because he’s done the exact same thing. So I believe now that they have been reunited and are working together, they could be a major problem for the rest of the Welterweight Division!

JMILLY: Well Brasi has already been proving that he’s a major problem for these Welterweights, he’s knocking out everybody he comes against and if Mitchell continues to develop like he has been then you’ve got two megastars in this division to add to the growing list of Welterweight stars!

JAMES SHARK: Talking of stars though, we have two new stars in the making debuting in Elite up next. Two middleweight phenoms that are looking to leave their mark on the Elite level’s of this sport! Kyle Hearn Jr, he’s a 4-0 prospect from Los Angeles California. He’s been tipped to be one of the best counter punchers in the sport. He’s 23 years old and he’s got a bright future ahead of him but first he’s got to get through Ekong Attah!

JMILLY: Attah is an undefeated prospect from
Nigeria, he’s got 10 wins and 2 draws to his name. He was making waves in his own country and now he’s coming here to test himself against the best in the world! He has quick hands and quick feet movement, he’s a southpaw also and you know southpaws can be dangerous!

ZARA MICHAELS: They do say that Southpaws do everything backwards compared to orthdox fighters which makes them dangerous to fight! This is going to be a big night for both of these men, you’ve got someone that is very quick in Attah and you’ve got someone who is very patient in Hearn Jr. I’m very excited to see what both men bring to the table tonight!

JMILLY: As the middleweight Division begins to get more stacked it’s becoming harder to make a splash instantly but a good performance can set them on the right path!

JAMES SHARK: Before we get into this fight we’ve got the pre fight promo!

The Elysian promotional video begins to play as the cameras open up inside of Legion MMA. Ekong Attah is seen going to work with his team ahead of his elite debut against Kyle Hearn Jr. The big Nigerian fighter is looking in great shape as he works the pads with his trainer. He was preparing some quick and powerful bombs to hurt his opponent in Oakland.

EKONG ATTAH: This is just another fight for me! I’m coming to make sure that I’m the one that all the middleweights are thinking about! I want to become the best Middleweight in the world and to do that I must first remove Kyle Hearn Jr out of the way!

The feed transitions into the MTK gym in Los Angeles, California. The undefeated prospect, Kyle Hearn Jr is in the ring sparring with an opponent. We are getting a good display of what he can do with his timing and countering as he avoids his opponents shots before firing back with perfectly timed shots of his own. His coaches look on with great interest as they examine everything he does from the good to the bad, so they can prepare him for victory in Oakland.

KYLE HEARN JR: This fight’s easy work for me! They talk about how quick he is and how his foot movement is great but I’ve studied this guy… I know his weaknesses in the ring, his head and body movement is terrible, he’s basically going to be a sitting target for me! I know I’ll be able to land shots all night long on this guy, he won’t be able to hit me as much as I can hit him and once I slow him down he won’t be able to hit me at all!

Ekong Attah is now doing some sparring of his own as he is unleashing lethal combinations on his partner, dropping him to the canvas. His coach nods in approval as Ekong displays his near perfect lead hook. Another sparring partner jumps in to replace the one that has been dropped. Ekong is right back to displaying his power and speed before he soon drops another sparring partner in quick fashion.

EKONG ATTAH: Hearn Jr won’t be able to last long in this fight! I know I can punish him until he quits, I’m too fast for him! I’m too strong for him! I won’t make enough mistakes for him to take advantage of, I’m going out there to give the perfect performance and announce that I’m the new star in the middleweight division!

The pair come face to face at the weigh ins as they stare each other down. Neither man was willing to give up any ground in the mental warfare.

KYLE HEARN JR: Ekong is about to get dragged into deep waters and he’s going to figure out he just can’t swim out there!

The promotional video ends, the cameras return to the commentary both before the start of the next contest.

JMILLY: Both of these men are confident ahead of this fight! They both believe that they possess the talent to win this fight and I think it’s going to turn out to be a really good contest between them!

JAMES SHARK: This could go either way for me, If Hearns is able to dictate the fight then he will win this one on points. His countering is next level but if Attah can start to dictate this fight then I feel he can finish Hearn in the mid rounds.

ZARA MICHAELS: Both of these men are talking about becoming a break out star in the middleweight division, how important is it for both of them to collect the win tonight to make sure that that can become a possibility?

JMILLY: It’s very important, neither of these fighters are known on the world stage… they can be the best boxers alive but the crowd doesn’t really know them outside of hardcore boxing fans, so that makes it vital that they give a good performance tonight to win the crowd over!

JAMES SHARK: Milly is right about that! Neither of these guys are heavy knockout artists either, so to get the crowd excited and on their side they need to give a boxing masterclass to let it be known that they are the breakout star of this card!

ZARA MICHEALS: Shark you’ve said Hearn by decision or Attah by mid round stoppage, cba you elaborate on that and let the fans at home know why you believe that?

JAMES SHARK: Hearn is a great counter puncher, he isn’t going to change his style. So he isn’t going to come forward looking to knock out Attah, he’s going to let Attah take the initiative and counter him with solid shots. He’s going to be looking to have a boxing masterclass and cruise to a unanimous decision victory whilst Attah has some good power on his punches, so I’ve he’s connecting with a lot of them during this fight I think Hearn will fall in the middle rounds!

JMILLY: I don’t know, I think Hearn could hurt him and potentially stop him in this fight! Like Hearn said, Attah is an easy target for him, his head movement and body movement isn’t great, he can be erratic with it…. so he’s basically giving Hearn an open target if he doesn’t fix that!

ZARA MICHAELS: We’ve spoken about how good Hearn is with countering but one of Attah’s most dangerous tools is his lead hook!

JMILLY: Attah will be looking to deliver that Lead hook as much as possible, if he lands it with right speed and power then Hearn could be in big trouble but I believe Hearn has enough about him to have that scouted!

JAMES SHARK: If he gets the speed on point then there is going to be no scouting done period!

ZARA MICHAELS: We’ll we don’t have to wait much longer, these two are about to do their ring walks!

Kyle Hearn Jr is led out by his MTK Team. The Los Angeles fighter is looking confident ahead of his upcoming fight. The 4-0 prospect is doing a light shadow box as he makes his way to the ring. His coach is in his ear giving him last minute instructions to kick this fight off with a bang. Kyle Hearn Jr rotates his neck from side to side and he’s getting a couple of cheers from the crowd so far but he will be believing he can turn them all into fans tonight. He looked in impressive shape as he got closer to the ring.

JMILLY: He’s calm, he cool and he knows what he’s got ahead of him! He isn’t fazed by this in the slightest which is a good sign because he’s never fought on a stage like this before!

JAMES SHARK: There is no other stage in boxing like Elite! This is when we really find out how good these fighters really are, they step up in competition and we see if they are all hype or a future great!

ZARA MICHAELS: Hearn Jr has been with MTK since he was very young, he’s been with the gym throughout his amateur career and now in the pros! They’ll be hoping to continue the winning formula together here tonight!

He wears his ring gear, and his face is covered with a traditional Yoruba wooden mask, while one of his squad mates bears the green and white flag of their homeland.

JMILLY: Ekong has brought pieces of his homeland here to Oakland with him tonight!

JAMES SHARK: Which can be a good thing, he’s brought his homeland with him tonight and the fact he’s doing this for all of Nigeria might just give him that extra boost to get this fight going his way!

ZARA MICHAELS: This is boxing, so anything could happen at any given moment.

Ekong stops here and there during his walk, bumping fists with fans and stopping to pose for a pic. Kyle Hearn Jr looks at him before looking back at his coach but his head trainer is talking to him and making sure that he keeps his head in the game.

JMILLY: You can see Hearn Jr is a little like WTF when he seen Ekong stop to pose for pictures. Is this all part of the mental warfare aspect of the sport?

JAMES SHARK: It can be but Hearn’s coach is in there making sure that Hearn stays focused on the task at hand! We’ve historically seen flashy fighters irritate their opponents by taking a long ring walk!

ZARA MICHAELS: Maybe this will fuel Hearn to punish Ekong more in this fight, only time will tell!

Before he enters the ring, his mask is carefully removed, and he climbs in, kneeling in prayer and waiting for the ref to call him over for instructions.

ZARA MICHAELS: Whilst the referee goes over the rules of this contest, let’s quickly take a look at the tale of the tape for this contest!

BIG DRAKO: Yates ain’t shit! He ain’t nothing but a mother fucking cab driver that got exposed when he went up against top level!

JAMES SHARK: Physically, probably! Mentally, I don’t even know right now. I know Sha don’t back down from anybody though, so he’s going to go in there and look for a fight!

JMILLY: Sha is ready for this one, trust me! He’s been working in the gym, he’s been putting it all together and now Big Drako is in his corner, he’s even more dangerous than before!

ZARA MICHAELS: Sha’s father certainly has a lot to say about Yates and the way Yates sucked punched him, I can see this one being heated!

JMILLY: He fucked up the second he put hands on Big Drako, this New York Royalty! Yates is in trouble, on Nine Trey forreal!

JAMES SHARK: Yates jumping back into the ring and against Sha is going to be dangerous for Yates… if he loses then he goes back to back on L’s. it messes up his standings in the rankings and puts him further away from the championship!

JAMES SHARK: Before we get into this next fight, we’ve got a promo made by the team at Elysian for this upcoming bout as Sheyanne Successful takes on Marco Alvaro!

The Elysian promotional video begins to play as the cameras open up inside the gym of Sheyanne Successful. The debuting fighter is going through her paces inside the gym as she prepared to face off against Marco Alvaro.

SHEYANNE SUCCESSFUL: I know I can beat this guy! He hasn’t won a single fight here in Elite and I’m looking to make sure that his losing streak continues! I didn’t come here for money, I’ve got money, I’m here because I’m competitive and I need to compete!

The footage then transitions into the gym of Marco Alvaro who is going over his game plan with his coaches, he knows this is a must win fight for him.

MARCO ALVARO: I can’t allow the negativity of my previous fights to enter into my mind! I don’t know much about this woman as a boxer but that doesn’t matter, I will find ways to adjust and make sure that I get that victory that has been hard to get so far!

Sheyanne Successful is sparring during her training camp as she prepares to leave it all in the ring in Oakland.

SHEYANNE SUCCESSFUL: He’s a loser, he’s incapable of winning! I don’t plan on this fight going the distance, I’m going out to finish him in the first round!

Marco Alvaro is getting his hands wrapped before he gets his gloves on. He climbs into the ring to face his sparring partner.

MARCO ALVARO: She is extremely confident because of my record but you’ve got to remember I’ve fought the very best that the lightweight has to offer, I haven’t lost to nobodies. I refuse to lose this one!

Once the promotional video ends, the cameras return to the commentary both before the start of the contest.

ZARA MICHAELS: James, you know Sheyanne well… how do you see this boxing thing playing out for her?

JAMES SHARK: She’s a pain in the ass but she’s a determined pain in the ass! She knows what’s going to be expected of her and she’ll make sure she’s got the right team around her to be the best that she can be! She can’t underestimate Marco Alvaro though, he’s been boxing his entire life and despite his poor record in Elite he’s only been stopped by Chase Vega and Paris Falkov. You could argue that he didn’t lose to Aleja Aparicio but it’s in the history books as an L!

JMILLY: Alvaro knows this is essentially his last chance to be somebody in this lightweight division! If he loses tonight then he’ll probably not get another chance against ranked fighters.

ZARA MICHAELS: Alvaro has been incredibly unlucky thus far. I think the loss to Aleja really knocked his confidence because he believes that he won that fight, then you follow it up by putting him against Vega, a notorious knockout artist, whose only loss was to Kyan Bishop. So he has a bad decision then he’s knocked out, his confidence is at an all time low then he’s out against a resurgent Paris Falkov who knocks him out. So far he’s lost to the number, 1, 2 and 3 ranked in the world but if he loses tonight then I agree with Milly, this will probably be his last time in the ring.

JAMES SHARK: We’re about to find out as these two are about to come out.

Marco Alvaro comes out from the entrance tunnel flanked by his team. The Mexican and his team both making their way down towards the ring, he gets a couple of cheers from some Latin fans in the arena.

JMILLY: Sheyanne is looking focused right now! She’s confident that she can secure this win!

JAMES SHARK: Like I said earlier, she is a determined mother fucker! She will be looking to put him away early in this fight!

ZARA MICHAELS: Alvaro will need to make sure that he is just as determined as she is!

Once Sheyanne Successful and her team enter the ring. Sheyanne Successful begins to bounce around the ring without breaking eye contact from Marco Alvaro.

JMILLY: Sheyanne is looking at him like she wants to take his head clean off!

JAMES SHARK: She does! She’s competitive as fuck!

SHEYANNE SUCCESSFUL: You know New York had to show out tonight! I told you all I was going to knock him out in the first and I stayed true to my word!

TY LYONS: Not a single lie was detected but shit that was a close one, y’all was trading in that first! Like y’all was button spamming with them punches, shit I didn’t know if y’all was gone, knock out each other!

I had to get in close with him and attack the body but that was still playing into his strengths because he could hit me up close! In the end though, I took away his ability to breath, so I knew I was putting him down!

TY LYONS: No doubt! You got the first victory under your belt, so who do you want next? Who is going to be next to get this work?

TY LYONS: Shit, you left your mark on Alvaro! Forreal though, enjoy the night and we will see you back in here soon!

The feed cuts to ringside where Gizmo is standing with Elite’s latest lightweight acquisition, Shay Lynch. The pair are about to conduct The South Boston fighters first professional interview.

GIZMO: We’ve just seen Sheyanne Successful make her lightweight debut in winning fashion and right now I’m with the latest lightweight signing, Shay Lynch. Shay, you got a wholeeee lot of hype behind you right now. Elite’s Twitter has been hyping up your amateur credentials like crazy but it’s a big jump to the pro game. How you feeling about taking the leap?

SHAY LYNCH: I don’t consider it a big jump, it’s more like the natural next step! I’ve dominated the amateur scene on a national level at my weight class, I don’t think there is anybody in Elite with the same type of credentials that I have. Only Vega and Amsel probably but even then I believe I blow them out of the water.

GIZMO: You confident huh?

SHAY LYNCH: Most mistake my confidence for arrogance or they see me as being cocky but when you’ve done what I’ve done it gives me a right to be confident of my abilities. I know the lightweight division has some good talent, I know that they aren’t going to lay down and let me walk my way to the title. The work needs to be put in from the ground up and I need to show these people why I deserve to be in the conversation of lightweights best!

GIZMO: Any word on your first opponent?

Shay shrugs his shoulders.

SHAY LYNCH: Been talk of a couple of names but I’m just waiting on a concrete offer. It doesn’t really matter to me in the slightest, I know I can beat whoever they put in front of me. When the time comes I’ll be ready to remove any obstacles that are in my way.

GIZMO: Well we’re going to be hyped to see who they finally put you against and if the talk is real then the fans really do have someone to consider for the conversation.

The feed moves back to the commentary booth.

JAMES SHARK: He’s cocky as fuck!

JMILLY: Like he said though, His Am credentials speak volumes in this sport! He’s got a big career ahead of him but he needs to avoid believing the hype and just showing us what he can do in the ring.

ZARA MICHAELS: There have been some concerns about the lightweight division with Mitchell and Vega moving up to welterweight, that there would be a weakened division now but there are potential stars to replace them. Sheyanne Successful made her debut and she looks entertaining. Emilia Lopez has recently made her debut and she looked dangerous, now we have Shay Lynch waiting for his moment to shine. If all three of them stay on the right path then we are looking at a better version of the lightweight division!

JAMES SHARK: True but up next we’ve got one of our other deep divisions, The heavyweight Division! Tim Crosby is taking on Vitor Martinez! Crosby is looking to get his next victory in the division after his match of the year candidate performance with Fra McCulloch!

JMILLY: We’ve got a pre fight video for you to watch before we get into this one.

Footage of the classic fight between Tim Crosby and Fra McCulloch at Elite x Mexico begins to play on the feed. Each brilliant shot is shown in slow motion as those two warriors gave each other everything that they had in the ring on that night.

TIM CROSBY: That night in Mexico will go down in boxing history! I can guarantee that!

The controversial finish of the referee calling A stop to the contest with only ten seconds remaining in the fight is shown. This was a tough pill to swallow for both fighters on the night.

TIM CROSBY: There will always be a cloud over that finish! They always talk about who really should have won but until we eventually rematch in the future, I’m officially the winner! Fra was the perfect opponent on the night but right now I need to switch my focus to Vitor Martinez!

Inside of Lair Brooklyn, the world would be surprised to see Tim Crosby sparring with his former foe Fra McCulloch in preparation for his upcoming bout in Oakland.

TIM CROSBY: People wonder why I brought Fra into camp to help me for this fight with Vitor! It’s simple, he brought the best out of me in Mexico and I believe he will bring the best out of me ahead of Oakland! I’m ready to knock that big dosser out cold!

In Havana, Cuba. Vitor Martinez is preparing for a bout against someone that not only hits as hard as he does but can take a punch better than he can. There has been question marks hanging over his head about his age and if he really still had it anymore, he was hoping to shut those doubters up in Oakland.

VITOR MARTINEZ: I’m the underdog! I know they expect him to win, they say I am too old now but I am not dead yet! They are plotting towards a rematch with McCulloch but I am here to spoil the party!

Footage of Martinez’s previous Elite bouts are shown. He has been unsuccessful thus far in the twilight of his career but he is hoping to turn things around in Oakland.

VITOR MARTINEZ: I am going to shock the world when I stop Elite’s new toy!

Once the promotional video ends, the cameras return to the commentary both before the start of the contest.

ZARA MICHAELS: Martinez believes that he can stop Crosby tonight!

JAMES SHARK: Crosby can take a lot of punishment and he can give a lot of punishment! We seen that in his previous fight with Fra McCulloch. They say Crosby lacks speed but he has excellent timing and he can get you with good shots!

JMILLY: The reason this fight is so important is because we are crowning a heavyweight champion tonight, so the opportunity is there for all these fighters to forget about what happened in the eliminators and prove that they deserve to be near contention for the heavyweight title!

ZARA MICHAELS: Martinez is beginning to slow down at this point of his career but Crosby isn’t known for his speed, do you think that will play into Martinez tonight or do you think Crosby still has too much about him?

JAMES SHARK: It’s an interesting fight, it really could go either way!

Tim Crosby comes out from the entrance tunnel flanked by his team from Lair Brooklyn. The Manchester fighter and his team both making their way down towards the ring, he gets some large cheers from the crowd in the arena. The 1-0 fighter looks fierce and focused.

JMILLY: Crosby is looking good, He knows that he has all the tools to beat Martinez but at the same time Martinez can’t be overlooked. I know Lorenzo Vidal will be telling him that right now!

JAMES SHARK: Lorenzo is a man that knows a whole lot about boxing, if anybody has the perfect game plan for Crosby then it’s him!

ZARA MICHAELS: Crosby knows that a loss here really could ruin the potential rematch with Fra McCulloch!

Tim Crosby and his team enter the ring. Tim Crosby slowly walks around the ring, taking it all in for a moment. Vitor Martinez came out with his team and the ageing fighter was laser focused ahead of this fight.

JMILLY: Martinez is looking real focused though! He looks in good shape too.

JAMES SHARK: Both of them are going to attempt to make a statement tonight!

ZARA MICHAELS: I feel like this one is going to be a finish!

Once Vitor Martinez and his team enter the ring. Vitor Martinez and Tim Crosby begin to stare each other down. The stare down between them is rather intense.

JMILLY: Both of these men are looking at each other like they want to kill the other!

JAMES SHARK: They both know what is at stake and they are both warriors that want a big knockout finish!

JOE BAGWELL VERSUS HARPER BUCKLEY
ROUND ONE

The fight gets underway. Harper Buckley allows Joe Bagwell to show himself first as Bagwell comes rushing out of his corner looking to dictate this fight but Haper Buckley's mind is definitely in the fight as Joe Bagwell just got nailed the second Harper Buckley saw an opening and delivered a big right hand. That was one lethal shot from Harper Buckley and Joe Bagwell hit the ground like he got hit with a baseball bat as Harper Buckley knocks Joe Bagwell out cold in a stunning fashion.

JMILLY: God Damn what a punch from Buckley!!

JAMES SHARK: He hit him like that boy had Covid-19 and tried to cough on him.. oh lord!

ZARA MICHAELS: What a way to win your first elite fight though.

The referee brings Harper Buckley to the middle of the ring as Ainsley Flacco gets in the ring to make the official decision. Joe Bagwell was taken away for medical attention after the brutal knockout from Harper Buckley.

AINSLEY FLACCO: The referee has called a stop to this contest at 10 seconds of round one, Declaring the winner via KO!!! HARPER BUCKLEY!

Harper Buckley has his hand raised in victory. Ty Lyons enters the ring to conduct an interview with the winner of this bout, Harper Buckley.

TY LYONS: First win in Elite and what a way to do it! You knocked that boy all the way out, shit!

HARPER BUCKLEY: I didn’t plan to take this long to get my first victory but it doesn’t matter! I just want to show the real boxing fans that I’m not taking this as a joke or for publicity, I love boxing and this is what I want to do!

TY LYONS: Nobody saying that anymore, forreal! You proved it tonight that you in love with this sport, you showed those improvements!

HARPER BUCKLEY: Appreciate that but I know I’ll probably never a world champion but each day in the gym I feel I’m getting better and I just want to keep getting better!

TY LYONS: I got you… so who is next?

HARPER BUCKLEY: I’m willing to fight anybody, I’ve shown that in the past! I took on two of the best fighters in not only the division but in elite as whole when I took on Dylan O’Brien and Luca Brasi… sure I got my ass beat but I showed up to fight!

TY LYONS: I feel you! Enjoy this moment and we’ll see you back in this ring soon!

At ringside London Spencer is sitting with his younger brother and Quag Inc recording artist, Prince. Gizmo is on the scene trying to get some words with the main man behind elite.

GIZMO: Lon! Tell me this shit is going to happen, tell me Sha going to put hands on Yates?

London shakes his head.

LONDON SPENCER: It wasn’t going to happen! We have been focusing on just getting Sha to a point that he feels he can fight again but after tonight…. I can’t hold him back! Yates put hands on his father, that’s a big no-no. I can’t stop Sha from fighting now!

GIZMO: Shit was disrespectful! Honestly, I’m surprised it never popped off worse!

LONDON SPENCER: You know Phe has gotten Sha thinking more like a businessman these days. Which is a good thing because the old Sha wouldn’t have allowed security to stop him!

GIZMO: When do you think the fight will happen and will it be in New York?

LONDON SPENCER: New York was kind of a cheap shot from Yates, Sha hasn’t spent much time in New York since the shooting but at the same time I don’t see Sha wanting to fight anywhere except New York! The fight could take a while to make because we've got Princess Bishop coming in May so I know his full focus is being there for Des right now. I think we’re looking at maybe June for this fight!

GIZMO: June is a long time away but I get it, He’s a family man now and he’s got some work to do before he’s back to his best! You gotta let me know first tho when this fight signed for!

LONDON SPENCER: you know I got you.

Back in the commentary both they are ready to proceed with the rest of the show.

JMILLY: Sha smokes him, simple! I ain’t having no discussions about it!

JAMES SHARK: It will be an entertaining fight, Sha don’t know defence, he only knows offence and he’s got that Brooklyn style of fighting. He’ll just come at you and let those hands fly!

ZARA MICHAELS: Romeo is a similar fighter! He goes at you non stop, so I agree it will be entertaining for the fans but not the families that are having to watch that!

JAMES SHARK: Talking about going forward chasing a knockout, we’ve got two big knockout artists about to go toe to toe up next. Fisk Jr versus Mike Hunt… the winner goes on to face the winner of Gresham Versus Knox for the WBF Heavyweight title!

ZARA MICHAELS: This is one of the most talked about fights on the card now let’s look at the promotional video for this one!

DANIEL FISK JR: It gets old but at the same time what kind of godfather would I be if I let the kids go wild?

The voice of Fisk echos in passing as he walks down the aisle in the Oracle Arena, walking toward ringside as the neon lights inside the ring are for Tommy Knox and DeMarcus Gresham.

DANIEL FISK JR: Every Killa before this one made their intent known, wrote that shit in stone dead to my face before any media came into play. Why? Because we in the same house, on the same property, passing by the same faces daily, there’s a CODE in that. Principle. If one thing you’ve haven’t noticed by now, I’m a man with a code. A strick one. Certain things you just don’t do & have nerve to call yourself a man later. There’s certain things you can not do and expect things to be fine. I’m not a forgiving God.

The lean back of Fisk in a throne like chair waiting for the result before him.

DANIEL FISK JR: This is the zoo he wanted to open. Now he has a grown wild Panther lose on the property to deal with and whoever is going to be a causality of that will just have to be a causality of it. Mike Hunt will be a casualty of his own bullshit here and then we’ll see if he’ll answer the challenge to the other two places I openly sent out. It aint ‘bout challenging me it’s ‘bout being that person of character & being head up. Something every single Killa did up until they decided they didn’t want to be around anymore. That’s on them too but don’t ask from me when I can’t trust in you.

The ‘ding ding ding’ of the next round plays as if Gresham and Knox are going to war.

DANIEL FISK JR: I’m not going to chase, that’s not a part of being great. Nah, you can catch hands in every sector I roam in instead. This sector one let’s see if you make three. Bust your head to the white meat on god’s gospel. Don’t matter who it is, Knox or Gresham. I know where I can be, I’m already on the Mount Rushmore of MMA it’s only a matter of time before I ascend to that same line in boxing. They just keepin it quarantined for me.

Mike takes the microphone and steps right into the camera. His face turns to a slight scowl as he continues. Mike flashes a grin, cocky but with evil intent in his eyes.

MIKE HUNT: I’m issuing a challenge to the man that has helped me left and right to get where I am today. A man who pushes me daily to be the realest Killa in the room. He’s the owner of Real Killas MMA. That’s right! FISK! I’m callin’ you out bruh! I want to raise the stakes and show the world I’m not a one and done fighter! So let’s do it bruh! You the King of the Real Killas and I want to prove I’m not a simple peasant in your Kingdom. So whatcha’ say bruh?

Mike takes a step back and drops the microphone on the ground in front of him. He shrugs and winks at the camera before walking off screen.

MIKE HUNT: It wasn’t personal!

The feed cuts out from the promotional video back to the commentary booth.

JAMES SHARK: What y’all thinking about this? Mike said this wasn’t personal but I don’t know!

JMILLY: In his eyes this wasn’t personal but he snaked Fisk! He should have said to Fisk personally instead of doing this shit on television.

ZARA MICHAELS: It’s weird that this happened because he called Fisk out in MMA at the same Time Elite announced that they were going to fight here. So it’s a weird coincidence but we are glad that we are getting to witness this tonight.

The lights dim down as a silence falls upon the arena. Suddenly “Ante Up” by M.O.P. ft. Busta Rhymes, Teflon, and Remy Martin thumps over the loudspeaker as the intro plays out, showing Mike Hunt training at the Real Killas MMA gym. As the beat drops the hype gets real when the lights begin flashing to the beat. Mike Hunt is seen on the stage sitting in a custom made throne, street signs bent and shaped into rails and a large “King of Queens” street sign hangs above him. He wears a crown as he nods his head to the beat. Scantily clad women stand at this side as the rest of his fight crew and trainers stand behind him. Mike stands up and throws his hands in the air, knocking off the green royal robe as he does. He pounds his chest like a mean gorilla before beginning to walk towards the ring, nodding his head to the beat and throwing shadow punches to warm up.

JMILLY: He looks like he’s ready but is he truly ready for what is about to come?

JAMES SHARK: I don’t know! Can you ever be ready for someone like Fisk?

ZARA MICHAELS: Fisk is maybe one of the most dangerous fighters in Elite!

JMILLY: Maybe? You tripping

Hunt makes it to ringside where he passes off the crown and gets into the ring through the ropes. He walks around the entire ring showing his dominance as he throws more shadow punches and slaps his belly. He comes to his corner where he begins pacing, slapping his belly over and over as he prepares for the fight.

JMILLY: He’s getting himself in the zone right now!

JAMES SHARK: You know damn well Ty is somewhere talking about this mans titties!

ZARA MICHAELS: Ty is petty!

Fisk walks to the ring with his 4 Cuban Link chains on. There's a difference in his clothing but not in his focus. He walks to the ring with that same cold stare ready to let go once the bell rings. He doesn't look at anybody keeping his eyes straight forward. Passing by the camera he gives that OG snarl. A little bit of the swagger he's known for. Reaching the ring he steps right in flossing the chains a bit then takes them off getting ready to go to work.

JMILLY: He’s looking dangerous right now!

JAMES SHARK: Fisk Knows this is about more than potentially fighting the heavyweight champion, this is about slapping the disrespect out of Hunt!

ZARA MICHAELS: King Killa Versus King KO! Whilst the referee goes over the rules for this contest let’s take this time to have a little look at the tale of the tape!

Ty Lyons is ringside with Chase Vega who was sitting with his girlfriend. Ty Lyons was all up in his personal space right now.

TY LYONS: Almighty! Lessgo! When the fuck are you back in the ring?

CHASE VEGA: Sup Ty! We’re working on the return to the ring, the fight has to be right for me! I’m not interested in fight scrubs! I learned more from losing to Ky than I did from all my wins!

TY LYONS: You and Ky, Rematch?

Chase shakes his head.

CHASE VEGA: I don’t ever see it happening! We are in a good place right now and I don’t want to risk that by challenging him again. We’ll see how things play out for me but right now it’s all about supporting the lions!

TY LYONS: Why is you so damn nice all the time? Forreal, How many of these welterweights do you think you can smoke?

CHASE VEGA: All is them! I didn’t move up to play a supporting role man, I moved up to be the main player in the division.

TY LYONS: We waiting young king, we waiting!

CHASE VEGA: Trust me, it will be worth the wait!

TY LYONS: Aight, i'll trust you this time! Back to bum ass Milly and his friends on commentary!

Back on the commentary booth, JMilly looks annoyed by Ty’s comments.

JMILLY: Man, I really hate Ty!

JAMES SHARK: He’s funny as fuck though!

ZARA MICHAELS: He really does seem to get under Milly’s skin to be fair!

JMILLY: I don’t want to talk about him any more. Let’s get on to the next fight, we’ve got the semi finals of the WBF Middleweight tournament! Either Dylan O’Brien or Prince Mattisse will face Jose Garcia

JAMES SHARK: Dylan O’Brien has already faced Jose Garcia and he failed the first time round but if he wins tonight then he hs a chance to redeem himself!

ZARA MICHAELS: But Prince has been on a resurgence as of Late! He lost to Luca Brasi in devastating fashion but then again Brasi has a 100% knockout ratio. He lost a split decision to Randy Wade which was a little unfair on him and then he came back strong by knocking Agustin Gates out cold! So this could be the most dangerous version of Mattisse!

JMILLY: This is a must win for Mattisse I believe because if Mattisse takes a knock to his confidence this quickly into his resurgence then he could eventually revert back to his old ways!

JAMES SHARK: It’s also must win for Dylan O’Brien because O’Briens only loss has come against Jose Garcia, if O’Brien doesn’t win tonight then he has been exposed for being a one trick pony!

ZARA MICHAELS: This is a big fight for both men! Only one of them will have the right to fight Jose Garcia for the WBF Heavyweight Championship! This one will be getting underway soon but first let’s take a look at the video package for this fight!

Inside the Scrapyard gym, Dylan O’Brien is seen getting ready for his upcoming bout with Prince Mattisse.

DYLAN O’BRIEN: I’m ready to knock him out and move on to fixing the only wrong in my boxing career thus far! Agustin Gates, Randy Wade & Harper Buckley all felt the power in these hands but for some reason Jose Garcia could take my shots and keep moving forward. I’m work everyday at the scrapyard to make sure when I face him next, he can’t handle this power!

Dylan O’Brien is unloading combinations on the heavy bag.

DYLAN O’BRIEN: I’m not looking past Mattisse… I know I have to do the job and be 100% focused to get him out of the way but I believe I can and I will Be! He's lost to some that I knocked out cold, his only victory on his record is against a man that hasn’t been the same since I knocked him unconscious! I know our styles are different, I’m a brawler, he’s a boxer but it’s been proven that his chin can’t handle power and I know I have more power than anyone else he’s fought!

At Mattisse fight club, The self proclaimed prince of Monaco is working with his elite team ahead of the biggest fight of his career.

PRINCE MATTISSE: If you say that I’ve been disappointing so far in my career then it’s an understatement! I’ve not been the best version of Prince Mattisse, I haven’t even been an average version of Prince Mattisse. I would consider myself a failure right now but I have an opportunity to correct that. Dylan O’Brien may just be the hardest hitting middleweight that there is but his power doesn’t scare me. They talk about my weak chin but they don’t speak about my boxing ability. I know Dylan will want this to be a dog fight but I can’t allow that to happen, when I’m dragged into dog fights I don’t have the power to do much. If I make him fight my fight then he can’t compete with me!

Prince Mattisse is working on his sparring with one of the recruits that his gym has picked up. He keeps his distance and uses his jab to control the round.

PRINCE MATTISSE: This is power versus skill and I have every single faith in my skills! He is talking about a rematch with Jose Garcia, I’m
Not allowing him to have a rematch with Garcia. He had his chance to dethrone a pound for pound king, it’s now my turn to take the challenge but first I need to get him out of the way and I fully intend on doing that.

Once the promotional video is finished the cameras return to the commentary booth.

JMILLY: Mattisse calls this the last stepping stone towards an opportunity to dethrone a pound for pound king… do you agree with that?

JAMES SHARK: Kind of! There is an opportunity to dethrone Jose Garcia but at the same time it’s more of an opportunity to become a world champion. I’d rather focus on becoming the champion.

ZARA MICHAELS: So far Romeo Yates has been the closest to dethroning Garcia! Some even say that he did dethrone Garcia, he felt like he was screwed over by the judges!

JMILLY: That’s the thing though, regardless of what we think happened the judges gave the fight to Garcia. So as of right now Garcia is still the undefeated middleweight king. One of these men will have the opportunity to take his 0 and take the middleweight championship if they win tonight. I personally feel that Mattisse has the better style to do that, don’t get me wrong O’Brien has a freak of nature power but if you can’t land that power then it becomes obsolete in the fight. Whilst Mattisse, despite his suspect chin has the speed and boxing ability to give Garcia problems!

JAMES SHARK: O’Brien is slowly getting his boxing ability on the correct level that it needs to be, I feel a rematch between them might have a different outcome especially after Yates laid out the blueprint on how to take the fight to Garcia!

ZARA MICHAELS: How important is the blueprint to beating somebody?

JAMES SHARK: Very important! Some fighters have only small weaknesses that they can’t handle, look at Vega in his loss to Kyan. Vega’s power was taken away from him when he had someone that could fight on the back foot. Daniel Fisk Jr, his power was nullified by Tommy Knox being the aggressor. Even Angelo Brasi, at his age, was able to defeat Amsel by using a blueprint that would work to his strengths and hide his weaknesses.

Prince Mattisse makes his way out with his team from Mattisse fight club. The flag of Monaco is proudly on display as the heavily tattooed fighter makes his way down to the ring. He seems calm and composed.

JMILLY: Mattisse is interesting as fuck! His father heavily invested in training him from a young age, he made him almost like a robot but he’s begun to develop more since suffering his first loss. Not just as a fighter but as a person also,

JAMES SHARK: I’ve got to agree with you on that. The journey he is on is interesting but will we see him take the next step in his journey or will he fail at this hurdle?

ZARA MICHAELS: Big questions to be answered tonight.

Once Prince Mattisse is in the ring, We see Dylan O’Brien with his scrapyard team making their way out towards the right. O’Brien has the Irish flag over his shoulders as he walks with pure confidence ahead of this bout.

JMILLY: How confident does O’Brien look right now?

JAMES SHARK: He looks in great shape too, like he toned himself up more.

ZARA MICHAELS: He’s working hard in the gym making sure that he can be the very best that he can be in the ring.

Both men are now in the ring as they stare each other down ahead of this semi final bout. You could feel the energy as this one meant a lot to both of them tonight.

JMILLY: This is going to be insane! I don’t even know who could walk out with this one tonight!

JAMES SHARK: Whoever dictates the fight will win this one! If Dylan can make this a dog fight, he wins but if Mattisse can keep this at distance and use the jab then he’s jabbing his way to victory.

ZARA MICHAELS: Whilst the referee goes over the rules for this contest let’s take this time to have a little look at the tale of the tape!

DYLAN O’BRIEN: Fuck no! He kept coming at me and giving me good shots! Look at my face, I’ve got cuts all over it! He’s a tough mother fucker but I got him with a good clean shot and he couldn’t handle it!

GIZMO: How frustrated did you get when he was blocking your shots and answering back whilst standing toe to toe with you?

DYLAN O’BRIEN: I’m a brawler, I’ve always been a brawler so I was frustrated that I could go with my style but my coaches told me to stay patient and get him when I could.

GIZMO: After that victory you’ve got a rematch with Jose Garcia for the WBF Middleweight Championship, how are you feeling ahead of that fight?

DYLAN O’BRIEN: 4 victories all by way of KO, my only loss is against Jose Garcia and I fucking hate that fact! So I’m taking this opportunity to rewrite that chapter, he knows about my power that’s why he stayed away from it in our first fight but now I know I can rush into opponents and make them fight my way, I know I can beat Garcia this time around!

ZARA MICHAELS: He's picked the right moment to return because the heavyweight division is about to get a huge reset tonight! The second either Knox or Gresham is crowned champion, the rankings open up again and anybody can stake their claim but of course it is Daniel Fisk Jr that will get the first shot at the champion!

JAMES SHARK: I’m still dying right now! GELLLLOOOO! Funny!

JMILLY: Don’t encourage his dumb ass!

ZARA MICHAELS: Let's move on shall we? We’ve got possibly one of the biggest debuts in boxing history coming up next as we have Marissa Kane… the greatest female MMA fighter of all time making her boxing debut against potentially one of the best in not only the welterweight division but Elite as a whole!

JAMES SHARK: This might be the biggest test of Marissa’s career though! Sure her hands have gotten real nice lately but she’s never professionally boxed before in her life, tonight she’s going against a dangerous fighter! Usually you try to protect a big name like Kane and let them find their feet but I know Marissa, she wanted the very best from the start. She got that tonight, Anthony Aguila is without a single doubt the star of the welterweight division.

JMILLY: There’s no doubting that. He's beat everybody worth beating in the welterweight division, only Luca Brasi that he hasn’t faced yet or Vega that stepped up recently. Name a welterweight and Aguila has beaten them, easily but this could be the biggest fight of his career. Marissa Kane isn’t just anybody, she’s competitive as fuck and she is driven to be the very best. She will be looking to leave her mark against Aguila tonight and I wouldn’t even call it an upset if she won!

JAMES SHARK: Aguila isn’t here to risk losing everything he’s built so far! He believes he can beat Marissa Kane, He knows he can beat Marissa Kane but he has to do everything right tonight to do that. He has to be perfect for all ten rounds.

ZARA MICHAELS: He’s proven before that he can be perfect for ten rounds but before we find out if he can be perfect once again, we have a promotional video for this fight.

Marissa Kane’s final MMA fight at SFN is shown on screen as she secured the victory and the championship before the cameras transitioned into the Throne gym in Las Vegas, Nevada. The cameras follow Marissa Kane as she walks through the gym towards the locker rooms.

MARISSA KANE: For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible. If you can’t understand that I’m a competitive person and I need to compete then you really could never understand me.

Alongside her coaches Marissa Kane is being put through her workout routine ahead of her debut fight against Anthony Aguila.

MARISSA KANE: Some people might think I’m crazy, they might think I’m risking my entire legacy that I built in MMA to come here and try my hand at boxing but those are the people that could never understand The Murder Reign. I have a drive to be the very best at everything I do, I know I can be the very best boxer in this company. If you don’t think that I’ve been working on this for a long time then you are crazy. Everything I do, I put every ounce of my time and effort into it. They say that there is a big difference between MMA and Boxing, they are right but when you have the mentality that I do then those differences mean nothing.

Marissa Kane is working on the angles of her punches, taking her time as she hits with laser focused and perfectly timed precision strikes.

MARISSA KANE: Tell them Murder is coming and I’m coming for Anthony Aguila in Oakland.

Anthony Aguila walks into his gym looking confident as ever as he begins camp for his upcoming bout with Marissa Kane. He has a confident grin on his face.

ANTHONY AGUILA: She’s hyped all the way up and rightfully so! She’s a legend but she’s a legend in MMA. I’m all for them coming over here, especially if it makes me some money but I’m not letting her take my spot. Billie Horn, Agustin Gates, Zion Rodgers & Hector Jones… all of them wanted my spot and I put everyone of those names down. I’ve been cooped up in a doomsday bunker for like a week. Tell me I won’t be ready for the baddie Marissa?!

Ahead of the Welterweight title eliminator between the pair, Anthony has been working hard in the gym to ensure that his spot that he worked so hard for since Elite opened its doors isn’t taken from him in one night.

ANTHONY AGUILA: I’m coming to make sure that the number one spot is mine and only mines. If anybody is going to be the welterweight champ then it’s going to be me.

The graphic for the welterweight tournament appears on the screen before the feed cuts back to the commentary booth.

JMILLY: Aguila has a point! He’s been the star of the welterweight division since the beginning and now Marissa has come in, she is the most talked about fighter! He’s got to feel a type of way about that.

JAMES SHARK: He’s got to kill all the hype around Marissa Kane tonight and make sure that it’s only his name that we are talking about from now on.

ZARA MICHAELS: Aguila knows what he has to do tonight to secure the victory. So I believe that he can kill all the hype around Marissa Kane and prove that this is his division.

The lights go out as the opening beats of "Machinaeguns" by Machinae Supremacy plays, lights pulsing with each beat of the drum as the crowd awaits Marissa's arrival. The guitars then kick in, and that's when Marissa Kane appears in her half and half robe paying homage to both of her nations - Canada and Sweden.

JMILLY: It still seems unreal to me that we are looking at Marissa Kane with boxing gloves on! She knows how to make an entrance though!

JAMES SHARK: Marissa has been in the big fights before, so I don’t see her having any nerves tonight! She knows that she has a job to do.

ZARA MICHAELS: Has she ever faced anybody like Anthony Aguila before?

In a trance like state she bobs her head along to the music as she makes her way down to the ring with her entourage behind her - a determined fire in the Swede's eyes. Marissa eventually arrives ringside, stepping through the ropes and making her way to her corner.

JAMES SHARK: I know that fire in Marissa’s eyes! She doesn’t come to play for second place, she only knows what it feels like to be in first place.

JMILLY: There’s been so much talk about her debut and I can’t wait to see how this one plays out! Does she set herself in the conversation of all time great regardless of sports or will Anthony Aguila continue to show why he’s the best in Elite.

"Caro" by Bad Bunny plays throughout the venue. Anthony Aguila steps out from the back in a royal blue robe. He pauses briefly to take in the reactions from those in attendance before making his way to the ring with his trainer beside him.

JMILLY: He looks confident tonight! This is the biggest fight of his career from a marketing standpoint and a financial standpoint but he’s faced some top level boxers.

JAMES SHARK: He beat Zion Rodgers comfortably and Billie Horn hasn’t been the same since he faced Aguila.

ZARA MICHAELS: There’s not many that really can stand with Aguila in the ring. Marissa needs to be perfect tonight to stand a chance against Aguila.

Once ringside, his trainer takes his robe from him using this as an opportunity to have a brief exchange of words before the start of the fight.

JMILLY: Getting some last minute advice from his coach ahead of this fight.

JAMES SHARK: He’ll be telling him to keep composed in the early rounds, let Marissa show what she has in her locker then find a way to exploit that.

ZARA MICHAELS: Whilst the referee goes over the rules for this contest let’s take this time to have a little look at the tale of the tape!

MARISSA KANE: People who doubt me always get proven wrong! It was a tough fight and I knew it was going to be coming into this one. There’s a reason that Anthony Aguila has been undefeated in Elite. He’s one of the best that there is and I only want to fight the best. I kept myself composed and focused on the task at hand, I tried to use every tool I have to make sure that I walked away with the victory tonight and it paid off!

GIZMO: It was a close fight, do you think that you will both run this one back one day?

MARISSA KANE: I think when a fight is as close as this one was, it needs to have a rematch but due to the current situation with the Welterweight title tournament, he’ll have to wait his turn but I have no doubt in my mind that he will return to his winning ways and we’ll both be better the next time we face off against each other.

MARISSA KANE: I haven’t seen the knockout yet but I know he’s stepped up to welterweight and is fighting at his natural weight now, so he is more comfortable but I believe I can beat anybody and I’ll be ready to go to the next round after I beat him.

TY LYONS: Why you sitting out here when you should be in that ring bro?

Prince laughs.

PRINCE: I’m too pretty to get hit. I ain’t letting no boxing fuck with the game like that.

TY LYONS: Shut up! You was doing boxing for the longest, I’m needing to see how you’ll do in the ring.

PRINCE: I’ll leave that to Trigz, I’m focused on music and music only.

TY LYONS: Let me talk to London real quick, it’s my goal to get you in the ring this year.

PRINCE: Forget the ring, just go download that Spring Album that just dropped. It’s fire.

TY LYONS: Yeeeah, download it, stream it. Don’t even ask your momma just use her credit card and support the Quag Inc Team.

PRINCE: You on the team now?

TY LYONS: I’m a vital part of the team, I do my own stunts! Plus I’m a sexy ass Savage model now.

PRINCE: Long way away from Rikers big bro.

TY LYONS: Ayy… don’t be putting that out there, ima respectable member of society now. I pay taxes.

PRINCE: You’re a member of society, I don’t know about respectable though!

TY LYONS: See, you petty like your brother London. That’s why I need to see you get beat up in the ring. Download the Spring Album but don’t listen to Prince’s shit. He a bum like Trey Milly.

Back at the commentary booth, JMilly is clearly still irritated by his long time friend, Ty Lyons.

JAMES SHARK: This has been the fight that the world has been waiting to see! Tommy Knox has been attacking DeMarcus for being a pretty boy but DeMarcus has been answering right back with shots. DeMarcus has gotten to the point now that he just wants the belt and this fight to be over with.

JMILLY: Some people think Tommy has gotten under his skin but I think it’s more that DeMarcus just doesn’t want to listen to him anymore. It’s going to be an interesting fight that’s for sure.

ZARA MICHAELS: For the final time tonight we go over to the promotional video for this fight.

The cameras fade out of the arena and into the promotional video for this fight.

DEMARCUS GRESHAM: All Tommy wants is to talk about my modeling because he really has nothing else. A true student of boxing would talk about his tendency to lower that right hand before circling out.

DeMarcus shrugs.

DEMARCUS GRESHAM: Crying shame isn’t it? For a man to have so much natural talent and chose to waste it with dick jokes. White America amirite?

The view changes from this sitting in a chair to sit in the sauna leaving large droplets of sweat to drip off his model profile.

DEMARCUS GRESHAM: Oakland has a good history with Gifted. I had a fair share of success in the city. When I look at Trump and our current nation’s circumstances it’s only right I do what everyone wants to do. Punch that same mentality that thinks everything is a goddamn joke.

The WBF Heavyweight Championship sits in between the graphic of DeMarcus Gresham and Tommy Knox.

DEMARCUS GRESHAM: In the time we’ve waited for Oakland I’ve already proven I’m smarter than his wife and him, sexier than him, worth more than him and his wife put together, my girlfriend worth more than them both put together, and it’s only right I now prove I’m also a better boxer. I was prettier before we entered the ring I will be prettier after and heavier. And he’ll still want me more than his own wife. Just tell her the truth before the kids become teenagers and you’re trying to poke the ‘mature’ looking male friends. Sha, London, Miss Phoenix, you guys be careful and watch him after this downfall. He’s an Arkansas tragedy waiting to happen. And I’m the gift that is New WBF Heavyweight Champion.

The footage transitions from DeMarcus to inside of the Scrapyard that once again plays host to Tommy Knox as he prepares for this boxing fight with DeMarcus.

TOMMY KNOX: I’ve shaved my hair off for this fight just so DeMarcus doesn’t get upset. I want him to be the prettiest one in that ring. It’s the least I can do for him since he’s going to lose to me but I’ll give him plenty of time to strike a couple of his poses before I beat him.

Tommy is putting in the work with his team right now but after every punch he lands he is doing a pose mocking his upcoming opponent.

TOMMY KNOX: I’m not worried about him, he’s been beaten up by a 100 pound woman! He’s going night night in this fight but he’ll probably hit the canvas and do that ‘paint me like one of your french girls’ poses.

After Tommy is finished speaking the cameras refocus on the commentary booth.

JAMES SHARK: Knox has got jokes though!

JMILLY: I don’t think Knox really is taking this fight for a joke though! I think he is working hard to become champion but maybe he’s lured DeMarcus into a false sense of security by making him think he isn’t taking this fight serious!

ZARA MICHAELS: I don’t think you can lure someone like DeMarcus into a false sense of security.

Tommy Knox begins to make his way out to the ring with his team from the scrapyard. The American Highlife is looking confident ahead of this main event bout.

JMILLY: He looks ready for DeMarcus. He looks confident.

JAMES SHARK: He has already shocked the world by defeating Daniel Fisk Jr, can he do it a second time and become the heavyweight champion of the world?

ZARA MICHAELS: Scrapyard are certainly hoping so because they have been collecting championships like crazy recently!

Once Tommy Knox is in the ring.Gresham stands in the entryway. The boos he hears only motivates. He looks left and right with his elitist demeanor in his expression. Finally, he walks to the ring smirking at a few of the fans screaming at him. He doesn't say anything just keeps that same smirk on his face while reaching ringside. Taking the steps he walks up the stairs and ducks his way in. Getting loose he moves a bit near his corner taking his time getting his entrance gear off. He smiles as his mouthguard is seen with a white 'KOS' read on the front.

JMILLY: DeMarcus shows up with this flashy entrance.

JAMES SHARK: I don’t think it’s that flashy I think Knox just kept his simple heading into this one.
