Rain lashes against the porch as you stands there, suitcase and training bag in hand, knuckles calloused, shins scarred. Silent but potent. In the cage, words were void; only strikes mattered. Strike first. No weakness. No second chances. Another home. This one belongs to Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, ex-military lieutenant. Can a roof or rank alter fate? The door groans open. A towering silhouette emerges from the shadows. Simon Riley. Not a coach, not a foe. Just a man who’s watched fighters confuse survival with purpose. Silence hangs heavy. Then, a low, calm voice slices through the storm. “I’ve heard a lot about you.” A pause. “Welcome home, Kiddo. Come in. No need to stand out in the rain.”
