--
There was an hour break after the previous fight.
It's for Ren to get back to his peak condition. Ren doesn't look worse for wear, not even close actually, but just to be safe, he was told to rest and recover. The organizers don't want the public saying that they're being unfair to Ren.
Ren has no complaints. He understood where they were coming from, so he obediently returned to a private room to rest. While this was happening, the host went around the audience, interviewing fans and asking them who they think will be the final winner.
This roused the audience into a frenzy of discussions and debate, and it went on for the entire hour that Ren was resting. It even went a little bit more than that.
Eventually, though, it ended. And the grand finals began. Ren and Adrian were called up to the stage.
One thing to note is that the arena has been expanded a bit, and so has the dome isolating it.
