The media had been on fire since the show began.
From the moment Damon Cross was announced as a coach, the buzz never stopped.
Every episode was clipped, debated, and recirculated across platforms.
MMA forums couldn't stop talking about the matchups, and casual fans tuned in for the tension inside the house.
It wasn't just about Damon. The Supreme Fighter had always drawn attention, but this season was hitting harder than usual.
The production team leaned into the drama, conflicts in the kitchen, training rivalries, and emotional backstories. Every angle was covered.
Every fighter had a story, and the cameras made sure none of it was missed.
It helped that the fighters weren't slouches. These were real prospects, hungry, skilled, and unfiltered.
The show felt alive again. And with coaches like Damon and Ivan, two very different kinds of champions, it was easy to root for one or the other.
