"There are rules against that Adriana!" He smiled at her. "That could be for the after party when we get home." He thought about her hair. "You could come back to the room before you go..." There were options if she wanted him bad enough.
Jake started getting focused the minute he got in the bus. He got quiet and just looked out the window.
John listened to Adri, "You know when you first learn about it people think it's just a bunch of people beating each other up. It's a lot more than that. More training and skill than like a bar fight, which I've seen enough in my day." He chuckled a bit. "It's like wrestling in school but with more skills and techniques thrown together. But that training and technique could mean nothing if you get hit by one lucky punch. The best fighter can get punched at the right time and it's all over." He looked at Jake hoping that wouldn't be the case for him. "The Octagon girls are going to be here too right?" John smiled as he joked. "I also like the female fights."
Once they arrived at the facility, Jake got out and grabbed his bag and Adri's hand to walk in with her. They went inside and he had to check in. He went and sat with Adri and his family. Luke sat next to him on the other side to go up with him when it was his time. He had awhile before they would get to him. When it was almost time the two went up together. He left his bag with Adri when he went up. He would weigh in first as the challenger.
Joe Rogan introduced him, "Next the Middle weight division. The challenger, Jake 'The Drifter' Daniels." Jake walked up on the stage with Luke behind him. He started taking off his clothes down to his weigh in shorts. A few girls screamed at him being barely in any clothes. After stepping on the scale Rogan announced his weight, "176." Luke grabbed his clothes and walked over with Jake to the other side to let Belfort weigh in. He shook Dana's hand and exchanged some comments back and forth. Dana congratulated him on the engagement and chuckled a bit. What a weird place to be congratulated but Jake appreciated it. Belfort weighed in at "183." John looked at Adri, "Would the weight difference be an issue?"
Belfort then walked over and they both put up their fists in the fighting position for a picture and he stared Jake down as Jake returned the stare down. Rich leaned over to John and Adri, "Belfort may seem like a bad ass but honestly he can be really nice. He's just trying to get in Jake's head, but after the fight he will be respectful depending on how Jake acts. If Jake acts like an arrogant ass then he will be an ass back." He smiled a little before leaning back.
Joe commented on the weight difference and wondered if it could play a factor in the outcome the following day, he asked Jake for an interview. "Are you ready for this fight tomorrow Jake?" Jake chuckled a bit, "Joe I shouldn't be here if I'm not. I'm mentally and physically ready. It's going to be a good fight." "Are you worried about getting knocked out, we all know Belfort's track record with knock outs." "I'm not worried. I trained a long time for this. I'm ready for it to happen." He wished him luck then interview Belfort. "Are you worried take downs in this fight?" "I'm not worried about anything. I know I'm a better fighter and it will show tomorrow." That was all he wanted to say and they both walked off the stage and Jake got dressed again.
Walking back over with Luke to sit back down and grab his stuff before they could head out. As they head out the same guy from the press conference was there making more comments, "Adriana...you should get in there and fight. That would be sexy and you'd probably fight better than Jake. Or better yet be a ring girl, that way Jake can just make his way through all of them...again." Jake stopped walking and squeezed Adri's hand. He was fuming, but instead of saying anything he grabbed her face and kissed her with the most passionate kiss. It was full of love, desire and want.
