This was supposed to be Willam Buckner’s year.
Known as “Bill Kill,” he left a wake of welterweights in bodybags up and down the east coast. If William could get past Henry Burns, a highly touted warrior from the west side, he would earn both praise and a long desired contract from The Big Show, the globe’s leading MMA promotion.
The pair met in the middle; each intent on punishing the other.
In a wild scramble, Burns wound up mounted above William, and the California native wasted no time in mining his skull for gold, dropping heavy, concussive elbows.
When one of the blunt force strikes removed William’s eyebrow like a slice of watermelon, the cage side physician stopped the bout, leading Burns toward the sport’s glitz and glamour and William back to the drawing board.

very discriptive in the removing eyebrow line. Good work, good six. But when it comes to getting hit, i’d say no mas, no mas.

Graphic. Bill’s going to have an interesting scar from this one to remind him of his disappointment.

While i admire the skill and thought it takes to plan a win and then execute it, this is a sport i never liked to actually watch. You wrote a great story about it, however!

Yowee!, Damn, if I don’t cringe as my mind’s eye reflects images like eyebrows “removed like a slice of watermelon”, lol.
Well written descriptive, graphic Six!

As well as that killer ‘slice of watermelon’ line, I like “a wake of welterwights in bodybags”!
And Henry Burns is cool character name.
