They watched in silence as the footage began to roll. The first clip featured a middleweight bout.
The quality of production was crisp, multiple angles, slow-motion replays, clean overlays with names and stats, but the fight itself left little impression.
Damon leaned back slightly, arms crossed, eyes sharp. The two fighters moved well enough, but something was missing.
The pace was moderate, the exchanges cautious. One fighter clearly had the edge, but it was hard to tell if it came from skill or if his opponent simply didn't belong in the cage.
He noted the distance management, how slow their resets were after exchanges. Footwork wasn't tight. Takedown attempts were too telegraphed.
Neither fighter had the kind of pressure or presence that stood out. The winner had done enough, but that was all. Enough.
Next bout loaded up on screen. Again, middleweights. There was more urgency here.
