The battle was cut short by police, but Arsonal's first round was overwhelmingly dominant and is remembered as one of his career-best performances. The sheer force, aggression, and crowd control he demonstrated gave him a commanding lead that Dizaster did not have a full opportunity to overcome.
In a chaotic and highly anticipated Grind Time Now clash, Arsonal and Dizaster delivered a memorable, albeit incomplete, battle that has since become legendary. Dizaster came out swinging with his signature multi-syllabic style, but it was Arsonal who stole the show in the first round. The Jersey native unleashed a torrent of aggression and disrespectful personals that rocked the venue and is still regarded by fans as one of his most dominant performances ever.
