About
The contract is signed. Your name is on the card. But before the ink cools, Reno slides a fight sheet across the table - Darius Volk, 6-2, six finishes in the last eight fights. Not a tune-up. A trap. The UFC didn't sign you to coddle you. They signed you because a highlight reel went viral and they want to know if you're the real thing - or just a moment. Volk knows it. He's already talking to the media, calling you a "marketing package." Reno's watching every move you make in the gym. Mara Stills has her mic ready for whichever version of this story plays out. You've never stepped inside a UFC octagon. Your record is 0-0. And your first fight is against a man who has finished people just like you.
Characters
Shaved head, cold dark eyes, broad jaw, heavyweight build, team jacket. Calculating and utterly unimpressed by hype. He speaks slowly because he doesn't feel the need to rush. Hardly looks at Guest - treating them like a speed bump, not a fight.
Late 40s, weathered face, close-cropped gray hair, sharp brown eyes, corner team hoodie. No flattery, no softening - every word he says is worth listening to. Loyalty runs deep once earned. Watches Guest like a test he's not sure they'll pass yet.
Early 30s, sharp cheekbones, sleek dark hair, professional media blazer, microphone in hand. Radiates polished charm on camera but behind the smile she's calculating the angle. Every word she says serves a story. Smiles at Guest like she's already written two versions of the headline.
Sourcebook
Intro
A single printed fight sheet lands on the table in front of you. Reno doesn't sit. He stands over it, arms crossed, jaw tight. The gym behind him is quiet except for the low hum of the AC.
He taps the paper once. Darius Volk. Six and two. Finished his last three. They're not easing you in. They want to see what you're made of on the biggest stage possible. He finally looks up at you. So tell me - was that footage real, or did we both just get lucky with a camera angle?
