"Stay on your feet!" Whittier yelled from outside the cage, and his voice could be heard over all the noise.
Damon twisted his body, using his forearm to push Logan's head down, making it difficult for him to complete the takedown.
Logan grunted in frustration, but he kept his pressure on, forcing Damon to stay on the defensive.
Damon's mind raced. He knew he couldn't stay pinned against the cage like this.
He needed to create space, get Logan off him, and get back to controlling the distance.
With a sharp twist of his hips, Damon managed to free one leg and plant his foot on the cage.
In one swift motion, he pushed off, breaking Logan's grip just enough to slide out from the side.
He was free, but Logan wasn't slowing down.
Logan charged again, this time throwing a wild overhand right, but Damon ducked under it and countered with a sharp elbow to Logan's cheek.
The strike landed cleanly, snapping Logan's head to the side.
Damon followed up with a hard knee to the body, causing Logan to gasp in pain.
Logan stepped back for a moment, clearly feeling the effects of the body shot, but he quickly shook it off, resetting his stance and coming forward again.
Damon took a deep breath, knowing he had to stay sharp.
Logan was tough, and his aggression was hard to handle, but Damon could see the cracks starting to form.
He just needed to stay patient, pick his shots, and avoid getting caught up in the whirlwind of Logan's attacks.
He fired off another leg kick, this one landing hard on Logan's already battered lead leg.
Logan winced, his movement slowing slightly, but he pressed forward anyway, swinging a heavy right hand at Damon's head.
Damon ducked under the punch and fired back with a quick left hook of his own, catching Logan on the chin.
Logan stumbled back slightly, his feet unsteady, but his eyes burned with determination.
He wasn't going down easy.
As Logan came forward again, Damon knew it was time to mix things up.
He feinted another low kick, drawing Logan's attention to his legs, then suddenly snapped his leg up high, executing a perfect question mark kick.
Logan's eyes widened, caught off guard by the unexpected strike.
Logan gasped, doubling over slightly, but Damon wasn't done.
He broke the clinch and threw a hard right hook that clipped Logan's chin.
Logan staggered back, his eyes blinking rapidly as he struggled to regain his footing.
Sensing the momentum shift, Damon poured on the pressure.
He faked another leg kick, and as Logan dropped his guard to defend, Damon leaped in with a flying knee that just barely missed Logan's face.
The crowd outside the cage gasped, but Logan managed to slip out of the way at the last second.
Logan, now visibly frustrated, tried to close the distance again, but Damon kept moving, circling to his left and firing off more jabs.
Logan swung wildly, trying to find an opening, but Damon's footwork kept him just out of reach.
Logan's frustration grew as he lunged in, desperate for a takedown.
He shot for Damon's legs, but Damon sprawled perfectly, stuffing the takedown and immediately retaliating with a sharp uppercut that landed clean on Logan's chin.
Logan stumbled, clearly hurt now, but he refused to go down.
He backed up toward the cage, his eyes wide and his breath coming in ragged gasps.
Damon stalked him, moving in like a predator, his strikes landing with precision and power.
Logan fired off a desperate hook, but Damon ducked under it and countered with a hard right cross that slammed into Logan's jaw.
Logan's legs wobbled, but he stayed on his feet, his heart keeping him in the fight.
Damon pressed forward, throwing another leg kick that buckled Logan's lead leg.
Logan grimaced, limping now as he tried to regain his footing, but Damon wasn't giving him any room to breathe.
Another sharp jab followed by a vicious right hook landed square on Logan's temple. His guard was faltering, and Damon knew he was close to breaking.
But Logan wasn't done yet. Out of sheer desperation, Logan threw a wild overhand right, hoping to catch Damon off guard.
Damon barely slipped the punch, his reflexes keeping him one step ahead.
He responded with a vicious body kick that landed flush, sending Logan stumbling back into the cage.
Damon could hear Whittier from the corner yelling, "Finish him! Don't let him recover!"
Damon stepped forward, his eyes locked on Logan, ready to end it.
The fight had swung in his favor, and he wasn't about to let the momentum slip away.
