\nThe veteran, Dino, has a 10-0 record. Argus has never fought before, but he surprises the crowd on the wooden bleachers as he sinks his teeth into Dino’s lips and neck.
\nAfter 15 minutes, Dino is slumped on the floor with Argus standing over him, both covered with deep puncture wounds, both too exhausted to continue. The referee declares a draw…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
