And finally, after weeks of silence, hype, rumors, and subtle jabs, the UFA dropped the announcement the MMA world had been waiting for.
Balim Chemasov vs. Damon Cross.
Official.
The undisputed UFA Middleweight Championship was on the line.
Social media exploded within seconds. The post had millions of views in minutes. The comment section didn't even load for most people, crashed from sheer volume.
The fight was scheduled for four months out.
Just enough time for both fighters to go through a full training camp.
Chemasov had just claimed his crown in a gritty war. He'd earned time to heal and reset. Damon, on the other hand, was riding off a dominant win over Desayen and had been training consistently since. Both were healthy. Both were hungry. Both were undefeated in the UFA.
