Round 2 Begins!![/h3][/center]
After the Angela vs Bonizo fight, there was a thirty minute break in the action. Half of the crowd filtered out of their seats to get refreshments or use the facilities. The other half remained seated, still glued to the spot by excitement. Everyone was talking about who their favorite to win the tournament would be and pulling out their phones. The online betting world was on fire. 

Meanwhile backstage, the eight remaining fighters stood in line to receive something called a senzu bean. Sure modern medicine was miraculous, but these little things were still the best way to heal up quickly. They just didn't grow in enough abundance to use them too often. However, this was a special occasion, and the tournament coordinators wasted no expense to obtain enough senzu beans to give to each victor in each round. They wanted everyone performing at their top level.

Once everyone had received their boost and returned to full strength, it was time to continue. The next to combatants, Bakuto and Jackson, were pulled aside and led to the building's exit, just out of the crowd's line of sight. They stood side by side, as the announcer hyped the crowd and stalled for time, waiting on the majority of the people to return to their seats. 

Then finally, he called their names. Jackson said nothing as they walked out to the arena, side by side. Banners with his name were waving and people were chanting it as well. The MMA World Champion was the clear favorite in this match.
