The interviewer stood beside Damon, holding the mic steady as the noise in the arena began to settle.
"Damon, you put on an amazing show tonight and managed to face your first obstacle as a champion, securing your first title defense. How are you feeling right now?"
Damon took a second, nodding as he looked out at the crowd, then back to the camera.
"I'm feeling great," he said, still catching his breath. "You know, this title—I'm planning on keeping it forever. I came into this match prepared, focused, and I got the job done. So yeah, I'd say I feel damn good."
The interviewer smiled and gave a short laugh before continuing.
"Well that's great to hear. Now, looking back at the match, there was a moment where you nearly got caught—specifically when you went for that flying knee and it was blocked. What was going through your mind in that moment?"
Damon exhaled once and gave a small shrug.
