When the bell rang, both fighters stepped forward.
Damon bounced lightly, moving his shoulders and testing the space. He didn't move in fast. He stayed just outside of range, feeling the tempo, watching PDD's rhythm. His guard stayed loose, but his eyes were sharp.
He kept shifting from side to side, circling slowly, trying to close the distance without rushing. He wanted control before contact.

He wanted to. He didn't like dragging things out, especially when he could finish early and get back home. He figured if he was going to test it, it might as well be now while he had full composure.
But before he could make a choice, PDD launched the first attack.
