Cage Fighter
Emmet never gets scared. He is a terrifically talented mixed martial artist; flexible, strong, unpredictable.
His rise through the rankings has been steady. Probably get a shot at a universally regarded title next year.
The opportunity to compete tonight arose unexpectedly when one of the fighters withdrew suddenly, for reasons which were never fully explained.
Emmet took the fight at short notice, no questions asked.
As his second I follow him into the cage.
“I’m scared,” says Emmet as his opponent, a hideous alien lumbers into the cage. “The way they spoke, I was expecting to fight another human being.”
