And for the first time, Chemasov's eyes widened.
This wasn't just a striker who learned defense.
This was a grappler. A real one.
Damon dug his forehead into Chemasov's chin and controlled the far wrist.
Chemasov tried to buck. Damon floated with it. His base didn't move an inch.
Mike Brewer: "Look at this. Many did not expect Damon Cross to be out-wrestling Chemasov. But here we are."
Chris Dalton: "Damon's wrestling pedigree is underrated. And his jiu-jitsu is clean, clinical. He's been waiting to prove this against someone who is highly skilled on the ground."
Damon started to work for a crucifix, slowly trapping the far arm under his knee.
Chemasov rolled to defend.
Damon floated again, right to north-south.
No rush. No scramble. Just technical dominance.
