Chapter 363: Domination

As always, Damon observed the patterns unfolding before him.

It was almost instinctive now, the way he could read opponents, predict their moves not just from their body language but from the situation they found themselves in.

Fighters, especially those who prided themselves on being well-rounded, often had a tell, a shift in focus when they realized they were being outclassed in one area.

And when that happened, they tended to fall back on the area they felt most comfortable in, the one they believed gave them the edge.

It wasn't unique to Ciao Doralhi.

It was a pattern Damon had seen time and time again, especially in fighters who were confident in their grappling.

When they couldn't gain traction in the striking exchanges, they instinctively gravitated toward the ground game, hoping their expertise would level the playing field.
