I didn't die

I’ve always known that I’d die either in a hailstorm of bullets or in the first round of a single elimination, to-the-death martial arts tournament.

I’m OK with these fates. With the first at least I’ll be taking several officers of the peace with me. In the latter my death will inspire my childhood best friend to fight on to victory to avenge me.

Although I a little confused why my best friend would be fighting in the same single elimination, to-the-death martial arts tournament as me.

Also, is there such thing as a double elimination, to-the-death martial arts tournament? If not there should be. I’d watch that movie.
