MMA System: I Will Be Pound For Pound Goat

The fights inside the house quickly spread to social media, where videos of the fights between Damon and the brothers were posted right away.

Chirper, the social media platform buzzing with The Supreme Fighter fans, exploded with reactions.

@FightFreak101:

Yo, did y'all see Damon SPEAR that dude through the table?! This man is NOT playing around. #TheSupremeFighter

@Chamalochama:

Looks like Team Whittier's Damon isn't taking any disrespect in the house. That spear? Man just sent a message. #NoNonsense #SupremeDrama

@IrishFightingPride:

Damon bringing that Irish fire to the house! Ain't nobody gonna mess with him now. Man had them boys SHOOK. #IrishPride #DamonForTheWin

@MMA_Junkie:

Logan tried to start something, but Damon finished it. You can see it in his eyes—dude wasn't playing. #HouseFights #TeamWhittier

@Gordonaking:

So are we gonna ignore the fact Logan was acting like an ass and deserved to get speared? Drunk or not, he was BEGGING for it. #TeamWhittier #LoganGotWhatHeDeserved

@FightFam2024:

Lowkey though, if the producers don't step in, this house is gonna turn into a full-on brawl. These guys are already at each other's throats. #DramaCentral #FighterHouse

@I_lovecatgirls:

Damon's putting Whittier's team on the map already. Logan better watch his mouth next time. #TeamWhittier #DamonCross

And just as many fans praised and hyped up Damon, there were just as many throwing shade, criticizing his actions, and questioning his temper.

@NotoriousKnockout88:

Damon's got a temper, but losing your cool like that? That's not gonna fly in the UFA. Man's not ready for the big leagues if he can't handle some trash talk. #WeakMindset #StayComposed

@TheeagleWrestlesYou:

Damon acts like he's tough, but all I see is someone who snaps too easily. A real fighter knows how to keep his cool. He's gonna get his ass handed to him soon. #Unprofessional #FakeToughGuy

@DaxKOHallowayFan:

What's with this Damon guy? First night in the house, and he's already acting like he's Collin? Dude, chill out. It's a long competition. you'll burn out fast with that attitude. #NotChampMaterial #Overhyped

@IssyStyleBender:

Spearing a dude through a table? This isn't WWA, man. Damon's acting like a hothead. That's not what champions are made of. #FightSmart #BadLook

@FedorIsForever:

That rage might look good on TV, but it's not gonna win you fights when it counts. He's just another wannabe hothead who's gonna crumble. #Overrated #NotARealFighter #collinistrash

@DiegoSlaps209:

All this over some noise? If that's enough to make you snap, good luck when the real pressure hits. Dude's gonna fold. #ThinSkin #FightOrFlight

@Bigboy22:

Just a Femu Collin Ncgyver, you are not HIM Lil bro.

It wasn't just Chirper that was going nuts, though. Posts on other social media sites were also going crazy.

Many of the videos on TikThick, which ranged from analysis breakdowns to fan edits, showed Damon as a badass.

MyTunnel shorts were no different, packed with clips of his fight highlights, knockout moments, and training footage.

The training footage came from Victor's Gym.

The gym's social media page had always had a professional look, but it had never gotten as much attention as it was now.

As Damon Cross became more well-known, videos from the gym that showed his hard, focused training and tough sparring sessions became very popular.

It was clear that the effect was there, even though some posts praised Damon and others were more critical.

The name Damon Cross was everywhere, and one thing was clear: whether the attention was positive or negative, Damon Cross was trending.

But just like that, not all the attention Damon was receiving was positive.

Some fans, almost like stalkers, and possibly even a few reporters, began digging deep into his past.

The internet was ruthless, and it didn't take long for his history to become a hot topic.

It was crazy how quickly people could uncover details, and soon enough, the posts began flooding in.

Some people started by criticizing Damon's early career, mocking the fact that he used to fight in flyweight despite being so tall.

@SizeKing69:

"LMAO, how was this dude ever in flyweight? Did he fight with his legs tied together? 😂 #TallAF"

@WeightClassWarrior:

"Yo, Damon Cross at flyweight?? Man must've been skin and bones. Not surprised he moved up. #Undersized"

But things took a turn as more personal details surfaced.

Somehow, people were getting access to information that wasn't common knowledge. Damon's past,his struggles with homelessness, his rough childhood, became public.

@SympathyFighter:

"Damn, didn't know Damon was homeless for a while. Respect for making it out of that. #TrueGrit"

@HypeCynic:

"I don't care if he was homeless or whatever, doesn't change the fact that he's just another fighter. #Overhyped"

@FightFanatic:

"Man was living on the streets and still made it this far? Say what you want, that's tough. #FighterSpirit"

However, not everyone was empathetic.

@HeartlessMMA:

"Homeless? Sounds like a bum to me. Bet he was fighting for spare change before the system saved him. #NotImpressed"

And then, without warning, a post appeared that no one saw coming.

It was just one post, buried in the endless stream of updates and comments about Damon Cross.

This one, however, was different, it claimed that Damon came from a home plagued by domestic abuse.

@Anonymous123:

"Heard Damon grew up in a house with domestic abuse. Sad if true, but it explains a lot."

At first, it didn't gain much traction. It sat there unnoticed, barely a blip in the whirlwind of attention.

Only two comments had been made.

@Enimenisgoat:

"Yo, this is low even for Chirper. Leave the man's personal life alone dont make shit up. #Respect"

@Yourfatherisgay:

"How about you crawl back under the rock you came from? No one cares about your trash post, you basement dweller."

Although the post didn't gain traction, most people dismissed it as the work of a keyboard warrior, just another hater trying to stir up drama.

Many glazed over it, not paying it any serious attention, scrolling past as they focused on other discussions.

But like a ticking bomb, it quietly ticked away, waiting to explode.

It was only a matter of time before someone with influence or a larger following noticed it, and once that happened, there was no telling how quickly it would spread.

For now, though, it remained ignored, a shadow lurking in the background of Damon Cross's rising fame.
