After the match, Frank Gresham interviewed the winners. Brakkas said you don't mess with a man's jewels - not a title belt, not his gold chains, and certainly not his family jewels!

Vignette with Rick Blood in a dojo. Various students attack him and he dispatches them easily. The last one he locks in a dragon sleeper until the man passes out and falls limp; only then does Blood release the hold. Rick talks about how he studied martial arts growing up because he wanted to learn how to hurt people. He became the master of the dragon sleeper from a student of Bruce Lee. Now he, Blood, has perfected the move. When he locks the move in he can feel the air, the blood, the life force draining from his opponent. That feeling brings him great joy. It is so very simple. Blood Simple.
