Chapter 84

The fight was on and Stas had held the upper hand for the first part of the match. Nick had finally got him into a hold and was throwing fist after fist.

"Ground and pound, Nick!" his father yelled. 

"Hold him, baby! Get in there! You go this!" Sam cheered. 

As Stas shifted to the cage for leverage, Nick had him. This was where he thrived. They didn't call him The Cage for nothing. Nick slammed into him with full force, managing to throw enough fist to knock the wind out of the other fighter. 

As Stas fell to his knees, trying to suck wind, Nick went for a sleeper hold, making them tumble to the mat, knee first. Sam felt like her heart had stopped. It was the one thing she worried the most about with his injury: Nick falling on his bad leg. Yet, he hit the spot perfectly and got a firm grip on his competitor. 

Seeing the man was losing consciousness, Sam and the entire Ashford family that had joined them were jumping up and down and cheering.
