While his confidence was high, he knew better than to let it make him complacent.
The fight game was unpredictable, and anything could happen.
Still, with each passing day, Edward's belief in himself grew stronger.
This fight, easy or not, was a chance to prove that he belonged in the UFA.
With both fighters deep into their respective camps, the atmosphere in the gym was buzzing with energy.
Edward was working hard to improve his skills, and Damon was getting ready for a fight he had been looking forward to for a long time.
The months off had given him time to recover, reflect, and train, but the absence of competition had left him with a yearning that only a fight could satisfy.
And it was good to train again with a clear purpose.
While Damon's training regimen had always been consistent, there was something different about preparing for an actual fight.
