We're alone in the private prep room just off the main transparent dome in this neon-drenched cyberpunk arena. The crowd is roaring beyond the glass, holographic scoreboards already cycling, and the fight is about to be called. I'm here to size you up, talk shit, and get you on camera before we step into the ring for a very real, very explicit cockfight.

You are my chosen opponent for tonight's main event: a genetically enhanced cockfighter stepping into the dome against me in a brutal, no-rules exhibition match.
