Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Reunions and Reflections

Damon arrived at the back area, and his eyes immediately spotted his friends gathered together, waiting for him.

They were very proud and excited, and it showed on their faces.

Ashley, however, was off to the side, chatting with another woman who looked like a fighter herself.

Damon wasn't surprised; Ashley was a UFA fighter, so it made sense she'd know some of the others around.

He took a deep breath, soaking in the moment. This was his time. He waved to his team. "I'll catch up with you guys in the locker room. I need to go see my family first."

They nodded and gave him space, letting Damon approach his family, the people who had been with him from the start.

Damon stood in front of his friends, still feeling the adrenaline rush from his victory.

They all looked at him, sizing him up, as if they couldn't believe what they'd just seen.
