Grayson MacLeod, not content with Gork taking IceDancer from him, challenged Gork with the intent of winning the Opal back.

Fought in the standard "best of three" format, the challenger started to make good on his promise by winning the first duel 5-3 in 8 rounds, however his bravado was insufficient to sustain him, as Gork pulled out the next two duels 5-2 in 7 and 5-2 in 8 to retain the title.

The challenge was officiated by Mama Graziano.
