              A long time ago, there lived a bachelor who liked fighting. His name was John. He heard that there would be a fighting tournament in U.S.A. He decided to join in the tournament because he liked fighting and there he could test his fighting skills, so he joined the fighting tournament. When he went there he enquired about the prize. The prize was $10 million. So John was very delighted and was ready to defeat everybody in the tournament.

There were two teams of five fighters each. In the first team there was John, his friend Jimmy, Jimmy's older brother Jerry, a tall and strong fighter Jack and a bodybuilder Michael. In the second team there was John's older brother Shaun, the popular wrestler Samous The Wrestler, a mad boy known as Idot, a jungle boy known as David and a builder Dan.

In the first fight there was John vs Shaun. John won the first round, but Shaun was very angry because his younger brother won against him. In the second round Shaun picked up John and threw him out of the stage, so Shaun won this match. In the third match everybody saw that no one was winning the match. Everybody thought that it would be a tie, and it was a tie. The second fight was Jimmy vs Samous The Wrestler. In the first round Jimmy lost against Samous The Wrestler. In the second round Jimmy again lost against Samous The Wrestler.

Then, the third fight was Jerry vs Idot. The first round was a tie. In the second round Jerry won against Idot, winning the fight.

The fourth fight was Jack vs David. There was a tie in both the rounds.

The fifth fight was Michael vs Dan. In the first round Dan won against Michael. In the second round Michael won against Dan. In the third round Michael again won against Dan. 

Then the judge declared the contenders for the final fight - Samous The Wrestler, Jerry and Michael. Then John asked the judge about the tied matches. The judge said that fighters in the tied matches were losers. John felt sad about this. The sixth match was Samous The Wrestler vs Jerry. Jerry lost against Samous The Wrestler in both the rounds.

The finale was Samous The Wrestler vs Michael. In the first round Samous The Wrestler won against Michael. Then, in the second round Michael won against Samous The Wrestler. And at last, Michael defeated Samous The Wrestler.
