THE FIGHT NIGHT The sound of cameras filled the room. Reporters shouted over one another, trying to get a good view of Rico Blaze. He stood tall on the stage, his expression calm but proud. Every flash of light seemed to make his scar glow even brighter. People were screaming his name. “Rico! Rico! Rico!” The energy in the hall was electric. He was known as the undefeated champion of the underground MMA world. No one had ever beaten him. He was strong, fast, and dangerous. And now, he was going to fight Jaden Cole — the fighter who made a name all for himself within a twinkle of an eye. The two men faced each other. Cameras clicked rapidly. The announcer spoke loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the fight you’ve all been waiting for — Rico Blaze versus Jaden Cole!” Rico walked up to Jaden and stretched out his hand. His grip was firm, his smile confident. “Hope you’re ready, kid,” Rico said with a small smirk. Jaden met his eyes calmly. “I was born ready.” They shook hands

The airport was crowded that morning. People moved in every direction, dragging bags, talking loudly, rushing to catch their flights. Jaden walked quietly beside Punisher and Damon, his hood up and his bag slung over one shoulder. He didn’t say much — just followed their lead through the security checks and into the waiting area. The moment their flight was called, they boarded quickly. Jaden sat by the window while Damon took the seat beside him. Punisher sat across the aisle, busy scrolling through his phone. But something about the takeoff didn’t feel right. As the plane started to rise into the air, Jaden’s hands gripped the armrest tightly. His breathing changed. The roar of the engine grew louder in his head, and suddenly it wasn’t just a flight anymore — it was something else. His mind flashed back to the darkness, the screaming, the endless falling he had seen in his dreams since the day he disappeared for seven days. His vision blurred. His chest tightened. Then his

After Caleb left that day, everyone at the gym couldn’t stop laughing. Punisher, Damon, and even a few other fighters made jokes about how Caleb had run off with his tail between his legs. “I bet he won’t come back tomorrow,” one of them said, grinning. Punisher chuckled. “That kid looked like he saw a ghost. No way he’s stepping in here again.” Jaden sat on the bench, unwrapping the tape around his hands. He didn’t laugh. Deep down, he felt bad. He hadn’t meant to scare Caleb. He just wanted the boy to take training seriously. Maybe he had gone too far. Maybe his voice had been too cold. But the next morning, when Jaden was in the ring doing his warm-ups, something unexpected happened. The gym door opened, and Caleb walked in. Everyone went silent. The skipping ropes stopped. The punching bags stopped moving. Even Damon froze mid-step. Punisher raised an eyebrow. “Well, look who decided to show up.” Jaden’s eyes widened for a moment, then a small smile crossed his face. He cli

had only been a few days since Jaden’s fight with Southpaw, but already, people were beginning to notice something different about him. Something they couldn’t quite explain. Most of his classmates and gym mates couldn’t stop talking about him. It was like everyone suddenly became obsessed with the “new” Jaden. Some said he must have found a secret trick to fighting better. Others said he was just lucky. But no one could deny the truth — Jaden was changing, and fast. He wasn’t like the others anymore. While most of them came to training tired, lazy, and sometimes complaining, Jaden was always early. He trained harder, longer, and with more focus than anyone else. He didn’t joke around much. He didn’t laugh at their jokes or talk about the things they usually talked about. He only spoke when he needed to, and even then, his tone was cold. A few of them noticed that the warmth Jaden used to have — that friendly smile and the spark in his eyes — was gone. Now, his eyes looked distant,

The next morning, just when Punisher thought the drama was over, Xavier returned to the gym. He came with two black cars and a wide smile that didn’t reach his eyes. The moment he stepped inside, everyone went quiet. Jaden was skipping rope while Punisher was wrapping Damon’s hands for sparring. “Good morning, gentlemen,” Xavier said, clapping his hands together. “I hope I’m not disturbing.” Punisher stood up slowly. “You again?” he muttered under his breath. Xavier laughed softly. “Relax, old friend. I didn’t come to fight. I came to make peace… and maybe a deal.” Behind him, his assistant walked in carrying two large boxes. She placed them gently on a nearby bench. When she opened them, the gym lights reflected off what was inside—brand-new gloves, training pads, and a custom-made championship robe with Jaden’s name stitched in gold letters. “This,” Xavier said proudly, “is for the new champion. The best deserves the best.” Jaden blinked, unsure how to react. The gifts look

After the defeat of Boulder and Southpaw, the world of MMA exploded with Jaden’s name. It was like everyone suddenly woke up to realize a new monster had been born in the ring. The moment the fight ended, videos of his knockout flooded the internet. Sports blogs, fan pages, even news channels were replaying that same moment when Jaden landed that final punch on Frank Bernard. Everywhere you turned, someone was talking about Jaden Cole — the youngest champion in UUFC history. And it didn’t stop there. Within just two days, Punisher’s phone wouldn’t stop ringing. Every time he looked down, there was a new email, a new message, or another call from a top fight organization. Big names like UFC Gold, Prime Combat League, and Global MMA were all trying to reach him. Some wanted to offer training deals, others wanted interviews, and a few wanted Jaden to fight for them exclusively. It was overwhelming. Punisher didn’t even know how to handle it anymore. His small gym, which had been hal
