On the first day of the Grand Tournament he was matched against [[Jelayna Mani|"Jumping" Jelayna Mani]] in [[the Factory]] arena. The fight was one-sided, with Ronald Ghost Bear winning in just under 40 seconds with his infamous, arctic blue ''Kodiak'' "Ursa Rex" destroying Jelayna's custom ''[[Marauder II]]'' with the same ruthlessness that has made the Clan champion a favorite in the arenas.<ref name=DAINN_p282/>

Ronald was scheduled to fight his second round against [[Patrick Wahlberg|Patrick "Wonderboy" Wahlberg]], thirtieth-ranked in that year. The combat was fought in the [[Iron Mountain]]. The moment the Clan-bred champion and his ride for this match, a modified ''[[Shadow Cat II]]'' attained line of sight to Patrick, the fight was over in less than the minute it had taken for line of sight to be established, with Ghost Bear's trademark disregard for heat levels and alpha-strike approach easily tearing Wahlberg apart. Wahlberg himself was injured when his ''[[Thunderbolt]]'' collapsed on itself in the fierce fusillade, but made a full recovery.<ref name=DAINN_p283>''Dark Age: 3132-3134 INN'', p. 283: "3132 Solaris VII Championships Season Review (Part 2)"</ref>

His third match on day three, he had been paired against [[Augr Steinhammar|"Blazing" Augr Steinhammar]], ranked twenty-fourth, in the [[Steiner Coliseum]]. In another of Ronald's savage, all-or-nothing victories, Augr Steinhammar and his ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]'' were annihilated in a brutal, three-minute fight.<ref name=DAINN_p287>''Dark Age: 3132-3134 INN'', p. 287: "3132 Solaris VII Championships Season Review (Part 3)"</ref>

For his fourth match he had been paired against [[Armis Hathaway|Armis "the Avenger" Hathaway]] in [[Hartford Gardens]] Arena. "Roaring" Ronald Ghost Bear (piloting a ''[[Black Hawk]]'' for the match) annihilated Armis and his ''[[Shadow Cat II]]'' with his trademark alpha strike finish, setting off a dazzling plasma explosion that Armis was lucky to walk away from.<ref name=DAINN_p288>''Dark Age: 3132-3134 INN'', p. 288: "3132 Solaris VII Championships Season Review (Part 4)"</ref>

In the fifth round, he was paired to fight against [[Mario LeMar|"Magnificent" Mario LeMar]], ranked twenty, in the [[Boreal Reach]] Arena. Compared to most fights on that round, that fight seemed almost anticlimactic. Ronald Ghost Bear, this time piloting a ''[[Summoner (Thor)|Thor]]'', tore through LeMar's ''[[Warhammer IIC]]'' after only forty-six seconds, proving that even a heavier, more sophisticated opponent, could not match the ferocity of his all-or-nothing style of combat.<ref name=DAINN_p293/>

For his semifinal match, he was paired against [[Omar Durand|Omar "Demolition" Durand]], ranked fourth, in [[Iron Mountain]]. Durand, driving a rare customized ''[[Cygnus (BattleMech)|Cygnus]]'', faced off against Ghost Bear's ''[[Mad Cat II]]'' in the winding tunnels, often delivering devastating hit-and-fade strikes with his paired heavy autocannons that ripped massive slabs of armor away from the Clan-born Champion's machine. Yet, despite a severe pounding, Ghost Bear gave as good as he got, relentlessly blazing away with a quartet of heavy lasers at every opportunity. The two gladiators continued this lethal game of cat and mouse for over ten minutes, an endurance record to any warrior who's ever squared off against "Roaring" Ronald, but in only half that time, it became clear that Durand's style was beginning to wear down his foe's patience. Ghost Bear, eager to end the duel with every volley, often overheated his 'Mech, pushing its sinks to the very point of shutdown several times. Indeed, it was only Durand's sense of chivalry, according to some, that spared the Champion from a more ignominious defeat that what he got.<ref name=DAINN_p312>''Dark Age: 3132-3134 INN'', p. 312: "3132 Solaris VII Championships Season Review (Part 7)"</ref>
