Chapter 733: Final Push

The horn echoed sharply through the room, signaling the start of the third and final round.

Both fighters pushed off their corners, hands raised, faces marked with sweat and light bruising. There was no hesitation now. No feeling out. Just focus.

Around the cage, the teammates shouted, banging the cage panels, urging their man forward.

"Let's go, José!"

"Stay sharp, Dorian!"

"Finish strong!"

The energy shifted. Everyone knew the reality, this wasn't just about surviving the round. It was about taking it.

Winning this round meant staying in the house, staying in the tournament, and getting closer to that UFA contract. Losing it meant going home.

José and Dorian met at the center. They didn't touch gloves. No one expected them to.

They circled immediately, small feints traded as both men tested for openings. José still had that bounce in his step, but it was slower than before.
