Bab 324: Man vs. Midget

Man vs. Midget…

That's what some were calling this showdown as Nick and Ben squared off against each other.

The blue mats in the room of Barbosa's MMA Gym were filled at the edges by an anxious audience. It was the last match, the finals, and every person here had been there for several hours, anticipating this bout and the emergence of the champion. The favorite Nick being there was no surprise. He was the largest and the strongest was a mainstay at this stage. Yet, his opponent…what the hell was that?

…

A white belt, in a booger gi…that looked like the guy you'd send to try to teach a family of jungle apes to dance disco.

…

Yet, this was the one who'd reached Nick's level, having defeated all comers, leaving them questioning their skills and their hairlines…

He'd already proven himself against a number of tough opponents. However, none of those opponents were Nick.
