I have Chloe in a very tight choke which could likely end up as a submission hold. She’s pushing off hard and churning with her legs and hips and is forcing me backwards to the wall with some success. This is not my first time fighting, and not my first time fighting someone as good as Chloe. I know her strategy. She wants my back against the wall so that, with both my arms occupied in the guillotine choke, she’ll try and punch her way out by hitting me hard in my unprotected stomach and ribs.
As Chloe keeps backing me up, I know that I’ll soon be up against the wall of the Pit. As soon as the soles of my feet touch the Pit wall, I push off with my legs like a competitive swimmer making a turn off the wall of the pool. I force Chloe back a bit as I maintain the guillotine choke. I then lay down, flat and prone on my stomach, while maintaining the choke hold. She’s on her knees, but with her head under my arm and her face on the floor of the Pit. This is a winning position for me. There’s no escape possible for Chloe from this position. She’ll either tap, or take a nap. The choice is hers.
