As things progress, Jake gets beaten senseless by Ryan, the school's resident [[Jerkass]], in a fight that was unwanted by Jake and instigated by Ryan's innate ability to sense his opponent's [[Berserk Button]] and proceed to mash it repeatedly. This fight is Jake's first lesson in MMA. His friend then gets him into formal MMA training, where [[Scary Black Man|Jean Roqua]] teaches Jake how to defeat any opponent. Many matches later, Jake ends up facing Ryan in a one-on-one fight to determine, once and for all, who the better fighter is. |
