The Gladiator

Using patience, you wait for your brother to strike. You circle each other for several minutes, until finally, Velkadin swings his sword at your head. Knowing that that move was coming, you dodge and swing sharply at his legs. Velkadin doesn't step back in time, and you cut into his armor, the cold metal of your weapon biting into his leg. He yelps in pain,but it is only a minor flesh wound. Velkadin keeps fighting, swinging his sword at your neck. You roll to the side quickly, and regain your balance. Then, with a flick of your wrist, you send Velkadin's weapon flying into the dirt several yards away. Velkadin stares at his weapon in shock, and you bring your weapon to his throat.
The crowd cheers, knowing that it's over.
Velkadin drops to his knees in defeat.
"Hand over the Champion Belt." you say carefully.

Did you get into a fight with Velkadin earlier?
