I enter the cage, my eyes fall on a woman who is anything, but not a fighting machine.
As I warm up, I notice the growing unrest around the cage. more and more guards are coming to the cellar.
I hear how numbers are called, apparently they are betting on fighters and I guess I'm not the favorite.
I seek the eye contact with my opponent, want to demonstrate my self-confidence, intimidate her.
Outside the cage, a voice calls out with a strong accent "READY?!"
With unmoved face, I raise my hands.
Somebody beats a pan with a ladle and a loud screaming filled the cellar vault.
I break away from the cage wall in my back and walk towards the center of the cage.
I am focused on my opponent.
