The CELLAR Arena was full this weekend in Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa. Friday Night Fights was on the schedule as always, with one special addition. Soldiers from all over crowded the viewing deck, trying to grab the best vantage point to see the Main Event of the night. Richard "General British" Garriott and Jesus "El Matador" Chavez promised a boxing match to remember.

General British on the Viewing Deck
Friday Night Fights was especially busy that evening. The larger than normal crowds meant that half the fighters were moved to another CELLAR instance to complete some of the preliminary matches. Inside CELLAR 3, General British and El Matador moved through the crowds in their boxing gear, taunting each other.
Chavez: El Matador thanks his supporters, and I will kick the Brit out of Richard.
British: Big words for a little man.
Chavez: I'm going to knock you in to space.
British: Fat chance, punk. Let's prove that in the ring.
Chavez: Bring it, sukka.
General Darkstarr joined the fray, as he threw his support behind El Matador. Apparently the two Generals have a long time rivalry going on, with Darkstarr hoping to overtake the AFS Command position, one day.
Darkstarr: British is going down I'm sad to say.
British: Are we ready to get this started?
Darkstarr: Shut up, British.
British: He may rule the Earthly ring, but not in here.
Chavez: Let the smacking begin!
Darkstarr: British can barely stand, much less swing. British is afraid of the Dark.
Chavez: I will conquer the Brit.
British: Chavez, you are such a little threat, to even the littlest of opponents.
Darkstarr: Jesus, take out Brit so I can take over!

The Fighters Square Off
After the regular Friday Night Fights events ended, the time for the Main Event had come. The evening's host, Tabula Rasa player Bennet, introduced the fighers.
Bennet: Ladies and Gentlemen. It's time for the Main Event! Introducing first, fighting out of the Blue Corner, wearing blue trimmed with white. He carries a gaming record of over 25 games including the legendary Ultima Series and Tabula Rasa, and one epic loss to a player named Rainz. Hailing from Britannia Manor, here is the Father of the Modern MMO, Richard "General British" Garriott!
Cheers of British! British! British! filled the arena.
Bennet: And introducing his opponent. Fighting out of the Red Corner, wearing red trimmed with white. He has an amazing professional record consisting of 43 victories including 30 knock outs and only four defeats. From Austin, Texas here is the former WBF Super Featherweight Champion and former IBF Lightweight Champion, Jesus "El Matador" Chavez!
An equal number of cheers for Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! rang out, most notably from General Darkstarr himself.
Bennet: Fighters to the center of the ring please. I want a good clean fight. Watch the low blows, kidney punches and rabbit punches. In case of a knockdown... ah forget it. SHOW NO MERCY! Fighters to your corners and come out swinging!

Chavez Goes Down
The boxers circled each other, throwing out punches when they got close. Trying to avoid the previous trend of the evening of running in circles instead of fighting, The General used his skills to confuse Chavez with flying leaps. Chavez fought back, but in the end it was the General that won the match.
British: Ok! My revenge! For all the pain you have inflicted on me in the past!

Two on Two Action
One final fight was planned as the earlier fight winner Worrth teamed up with El Matador, and Runner Up Agoshi fought with General British for the team event. Chavez' luck returned as he and Worrth knocked down their opponents to claim the Team Title.
The excitement wasn't over yet. The Bane somehow gained intel of what was going on in the CELLAR, and took the chance at removing two AFS Generals, Sarah Morrison and many more from the war. Thrax soldiers flooded the arena, and everyone fought back with a vengeance. It was a perfect way to end the night!
