Beautiful Disaster[]
Shepley and America bring newcomer Abby to a fight at the Circle, which took place in an abandoned warehouse. The witnesses formed a circle for the fighters. The announcer brought in both fighters, one of which was Travis "Mad Dog" Maddox. He is distracted and his opponent lands a punch. Travis jumps to his feet, warns the fighter that was his one. He knocks out his opponent and gets blood on Abby's sweater, then catches her when the crowd gets rowdy. He apologizes for her sweater, calls her Pigeon, and leaves.
A few days later, Abby goes out with med student Parker and, after their classy dinner, heads to what he calls a "show". She mistakes this as a Shakespearean play since they visit a theater. Much to her astonishment, she emerges to a giant cage that revolves in the center of the room. It's a new fight for The Circle, and Travis is set to fight a massive Russian. He wins the fight.
