The fight pressed on, with Edward continuing to demonstrate sharp footwork and solid takedown defense.
Each time Luis tried to close the distance, Edward circled out or landed a clean jab to keep him at bay. It wasn't just good, it was impressive.
Edward was very disciplined, and his plan was working out just the way Damon had hoped.
He kept his cool, kept his distance, and didn't commit too much to any strikes that could leave him open.
Damon stood outside the cage, arms crossed, carefully observing. "Keep it up, Eddie," he muttered under his breath.
He knew that if Edward maintained this level of performance, the fight was his to win.
Whether it came from a well-timed counter or grinding Luis down over the course of three rounds, Edward was dictating the pace.
But...
Luis wasn't out of options yet. Fighters like him, grapplers who thrived on control and ground dominance, weren't easy to break.
