The Ghost In The Ring

Jack saw red. "Struggles?" he repeated, voice low and dangerous. "I've fought my way through the best in this division. I earned this shot. And if you think Tyler's gonna walk through me, you're in for a fucking surprise."

The clip went viral. And when Tyler saw it, he laughed it off like it was a joke.

"You can't let this shit distract you," Victor said the next day as they watched footage of Grant's last fight. "Stick to the game plan."

"I'm sticking to it," Jack snapped. "But I'm not gonna sit back and let him act like I'm some fucking joke."

Victor sighed. "You care too much about what people say."

"Maybe," Jack admitted. "But I'm gonna shut them all up when I take that belt."

The final press conference was a circus. Jack walked in ready for war — and when they faced off for the staredown, the tension was thick enough to cut with a knife.

"You're not ready for this," Tyler murmured as they stood nose-to-nose.
