The media had been watching the event hard.
In fact, every outlet from mainstream sports networks to niche fight breakdown channels had their eyes glued to Damon Cross the moment he walked into the cage.
What followed only confirmed why.
Damon didn't just win. He shut Alex Tereira down completely.
A man once feared for his power and precision had been picked apart round by round.
Damon's pressure, timing, and clinch work neutralized Alex's entire game plan.
He closed the distance, chipped away at him with knees and elbows, and then finished the job with a violent head kick that dropped the striker cold.
What stood out more than the finish was the control.
Damon had made one of the most dangerous men in the organization look lost, like he didn't belong in there with him.
Alex had moments, but none that lasted longer than a few seconds before Damon broke them apart.
