New Episode
The girls are gathered in the gym awaiting the first fight of the evening.
“The Cure” Katora Sanchez is from just outside of Havana, Cuba, is 5’3” 135 lbs with long curly black hair, mocha skin, blue eyes, an hourglass figure with large breasts and butt, but a short waist and long thick but strong legs. She’s wearing a white gi (martial arts jacket and pants tied with a black belt) and is barefoot. Her toenails are polished blue and she enters the cage looking very focused, as usual.
(Katora- I don’t play around when I am fighting or sparring or training or whatever. It’s no joke in the cage, you know? Misty is somebody I’ve wanted to fight for a long time; she tries to act honorable, but she’s just another cocky bitch. Samantha’s my friend; Misty beat her and talked all kinds of junk, but now, she’s got to fight me. We have business between us and I’m gonna have a conversation with her in that cage. I’m not gonna say that she’s not a good fighter; she is really good, but I fight for mi familia; I fight for Dios… God, my family, my friends. I fight because I have no choice; the hate is too great in me.)
Misty “The Perfect” Storm is 5’7” 130 lbs with her curly black hair in a ponytail, her blue eyes looking determined, and her own light brown skin shining with a hint of sweat as she is warmed up and ready to go in her black tank top with red trim and matching shorts pulled slightly above her navel and matching black and red boots. Misty is biracial, with her father being half-African American and half Native American and her mother being Mexican. Misty enters the cage, showing off her impressive figure and stares at her shorter opponent.
(Misty- I’m going to hurt her and I’m going to fight her with everything I’ve got. She asked for this and she’s going to get it. Nothing she has said to me or about me has harmed me; it’s only motivated me to beat her. She’s not good on the ground; she showed that in her fight with Lisa and I have to question her conditioning. I have great respect for her as of fighter, but if I am to win this tournament, I have to beat her. There is nothing more to say; if you want to be the best, you have to fear no one and fight everyone who matters. Katora matters, so I have to fight her. It‘s nothing to do with personal stuff because that‘s all in her. This is another fight for me against a very dangerous opponent.)
The two women come together for introductions and instructions. Katora is staring hard at Misty, but Misty in her usual way, is staring at the ceiling. Misty extends her gloved hand to touch with Katora’s, but the short Cuban backs to her corner without doing so. Misty backs up as well and looking at her face, one can tell that she’s bothered by what Katora did.
(Katora- This is what I’m talking about. She wasn’t even respectful enough to look me in the eyes. How am I supposed to touch gloves with someone like that?)
(Misty- At the fight announcement, she hugged me. I thought that all the bullshit was over between us, but I could see then that she was going to act this way. Rachel Apache, when she was in her mid-teens, would stare up at the ceiling during fight intros because she didn’t want to have mercy on her opponents if she looked them in the eyes. I picked up that quality when Siena Blaze was training me and told me about it. Katora knows that, but she thinks it’s disrespectful… so? I‘m not to stop doing it because of what she thinks.)
The bell rings and two women come together. Misty’s bouncing with her arms raised and Katora is proceeding quickly to meet her at center cage, her legs bent and her arms raised with elbows in. These two are both known for being fast starters and the question of who would throw the first punch is answered with Katora firing off a left hook that Misty moves out of the way of before throwing a right hand that catches Katora’s gloves, but Misty eats a straight right while landing a left hook to Kat’s ribs and backs up, taking a left hook to the jaw and a high kick to the temple that she partially blocks, but is staggered. Misty smiles and grabs at Katora, who bangs hard lefts and rights to the taller girl’s ribs, pulls her head down and nails her with a knee to the nose, but Misty pulls her head up as soon as the knee makes contact. Katora fires another vicious left hook to the side of the head as Misty leans in and Misty is clearly stunned and is trying to move to Kat’s left, so Kat nails her liver and nails her jaw again with two brutal left hooks.
Athena- Misty, back off of her!! You’re moving into her punches!
(Marie- I trained with Misty, and I’d never seen her legitimately hurt until that moment.)
Katora moves in on Misty, but the taller girl stops Kat for a split second with a right hand to her raised gloves. Kat moves in again and Misty’s back is close to the cage wall; Misty fires a hard leg kick that smacks against Kat’s left thigh, then lands a right hand to the raised gloves and bangs a hard left hook to Kat’s right side. Kat angrily responds with an uppercut to Misty’s chin, a right hand to her stomach, a left hook to her jaw, a right cross to her jaw and a knee to the solar plexus that forces Misty back. But Misty comes back at Kat with a left hook that gets around the raised arms to the side of her head, a right hand that crashes into Kat’s left side and bends her a bit, a sweeping kick to Kat’s right side, but Kat backs out of range as Misty misses the second kick. Kat takes a deep breath and the two women stare at each other, getting their air and slowly moving towards each other. As if on instinct, the two start throwing punches again. Katora is first to land a right cross that grazes Misty’s chin as she tries to move her head out of the way, but manages to land a right hand to Kat’s nose and a hard left hook to Kat’s head. Katora smiles and keeps coming forward as Misty misses a left hook to the ribs and eats a hard front kick to her face. The kick backs Misty into the cage and Katora moves in, firing a lightening fast combination to Misty’s ribs and forcing the taller girl to cover up.
(Katora- I got a good chin and I got tons of heart. I took her hook and I smiled and I winked. It was a good shot. But you hit me, I‘m gonna hit you back.)
Misty raises her right leg to protect her right side from the vicious series of lefts hooks it’s taking. Misty is positioning her head above the top of Katora’s and is has a hold on Kat’s right arm. Katora starts hammering Misty’s raised leg while Misty is trying to bend that right arm and look for a standing kimora, but she’s nowhere close to having one.
(Jessika- The thing that separates Misty from Katora is that Misty has great submissions. Anyone who’s trained by Siena Blaze knows how to submit you from a bunch of positions. Misty’s a true mixed martial artist, but she really had a bulldog in front of her. Katora can really get inside and hurt you and she can smother taller opponents.)
Misty brings her right leg down on Kat’s left foot and Kat yells an “Aye!” Misty lets go of Kat’s right arm and hits her with a left hook to her side, then Misty is able to get her get her arms around Katora’s waist and spin her around to where Kat’s back is against the cage. Katora is landing short punches to Misty’s head, making sure not to hit the back of it while Misty is kneeing Kat’s thighs and stomping down on her bare feet. Misty ducks low and tries to take Katora down by going for her legs, but the shorter Cuban spreads her legs and shifts her weight and Misty, who is a takedown specialist, can’t complete the takedown. Instead, Kat cracks her with a downward elbow across Misty’s right eye and upper lip.
Misty- Mmph!
Misty shakes from a hard left hook to her right side, but hits Kat with a digging right hand to the left side of her stomach, about two inches from her navel. Kat’s eyes widen a bit from the shot and both fighters look at each other angrily as Katora comes off the cage and nails Misty with a straight left straight right combo to her head, but Misty takes the shots, ducks low and tackles Katora, but Kat throws herself back against the cage and does not go down. Instead, she starts elbowing Misty’s shoulders, but winces from a hard shoulder thrust into her solar plexus. Misty seems content to keep Kat’s back against the cage, while Kat looks up at the clock. Misty stands up and rams her shoulder and body into Kat’s; the shoulder hitting the shorter girl in the face a few times, before Kat starts throwing short punches to Misty’s ribs, but takes a hard left hook to her own ribs in return and lets out another “Aye!”
(Kayla- Misty has Kat up against the cage, but Katora was winning the fight, in my opinion, because Misty wasn’t able to get a take down yet and was taking more punishment.)
Katora starts to push herself off of the cage and as soon as there’s a little space between the two, they start teeing off on each other with punches again. Katora nails the side of Misty’s neck with a left hook and thrusts an underhanded punch to her solar plexus, but Misty snaps Kat’s head back with two hard uppercuts to her small nose, and when Katora brings her arms up, Misty digs to her body with a right left right left to her sides, but Katora fires a leg kick and Misty winces and backs up. Katora lowers her arms for a moment and smiles at Misty, who immediately fires a right hand that hits Kat’s quickly raised gloves, but lands a left hook to Kat’s side while Kat nails Misty with an overhand right, buckling the taller girl again and tagging her with a left hook to her jaw. Misty backs up and Katora moves forward.
(PJ- All the years I’ve known Misty, she’s taken more shots in this one round than all her fights combined probably. I’ve never seen her get hit this much and I’ve never seen her hurt, but it’s not her. Katora is really really good and it was showing.)
Katora lands a hard leg kick to Misty’s left thigh, a two jab combo that hits Misty’s chin and gloves, a right uppercut that snaps Misty back, but as Kat moves in, Misty ducks low and nails her in the stomach with a hard right hand that hit’s a little below the belt on Katora‘s gi and probably landed just above Kat‘s navel.
Katora-Ughh! Aye!
Katora instantly straightens up and raises her arms, so Misty lands a hard straight right that lands between the gloves to Kat’s nose and snaps her head back. Kat lets out an “uhhhh!” and goes back a bit, but snaps off a wild left hook that Misty avoids, landing another straight right to Kat’s open left side and a hooking left into the middle of Kat’s stomach, pushing the knot of the belt into her and bending her. Kat is backing up towards the cage wall and Misty is stalking her. Kat fires off a kick that hits Misty’s calf as Misty grits her teeth in pain coming in with a left that hits Kat’s stomach, just above the belt and forces another “Aye!” from the shorter Cuban as she bends and gives Misty a pained look. Misty throws two jabs at Kat’s head and moves in with a straight right that hits Kat’s cheek just as Kat is landing a left hook to Misty’s side. Misty stops and touches her side, and Kat explodes on her, cracking her jaw with a left hook and snapping her head back with a right hand to the chin, then landing another left hook to her aching side.
(Misty- She was hitting me… she really was hitting me with some hard crisp punches. I knew this wasn’t going to be easy coming in. This was going to be a night of me standing toe-to-toe with her, and that wasn‘t my strategy. I knew I had to get her on the ground.)
Misty’s back is against the cage, but she bucks herself off, grabs Katora by the back of her head in a muay thai clinch, and starts kneeing her ribs and trying to get to her stomach. Most of Misty’s knees are into Kat’s thighs because Kat is pushing her knees down with her arms, so Misty nails Katora with a combination of right hands to her face while holding the back of her head. Kat nails Misty with a right hand to her stomach and a left hook to her liver.
Misty- uggghhh…uggghhh…
Misty grabs Katora and tries for a guillotine by hooking her head under her arm, but Katora runs and pushes Misty hard against the cage wall. Misty slides to her left and hurts Kat with a knee to her stomach that makes Katora squat with an “whoooosh,” but pop right back up, so Misty lands a knee to her raised arms, then a knee to the side of her head and Katora staggers away, but Misty bends, reaches, and fires two punches that hit Katora’s crotch. Katora winces immediately and Misty stops fighting, looking at Katora with concern. Katora extends her glove to Misty and nods and the two touch as a sign of sportsmanship.
Misty looks at Katora and raises her eyebrows and Katora nods and raises her arms. Misty hits Katora with a right hand to her stomach, right above the belt, and Katora buckles and backs up. Misty moves in and lands a jab to Kat’s stomach to the same spot and Kat lets out an “ooooh, Madre!” and buckles again.
Misty jabs Katora hard in the pit of her stomach, forcing the belt down a bit and Katora makes a sound like she’s about to vomit and almost goes down, but backs into the cage. Misty is cautious approaching, but once she sees Katora doesn’t come forward, she explodes in on her, getting in low and going with hard hooks to Kat’s stomach, and digging right hands while Misty is pulling the belt lower down around Kat’s hips and slamming a right hand deep into the pit of the shorter girl’s stomach buckling her forward with an “OOH! Oooh…” While she’s in low, Misty tries to take Katora down again, but the Cuban once again stuffs the takedown. Misty sighs and Katora sighs as well; the two make eye contact as Katora raises her arms and Misty starts pounding away at her stomach and ribs. Katora winces from the shots to the ribs, but every shot that lands to the stomach forces an “oooh!” or an “aye!” from her.
(Jessika- Katora is very top heavy; she’s got a great big set of tits and one of the best asses I’ve ever seen, but a girl like that has that softness in the stomach and sides and Misty was busting that belly up. She was making me proud because it was the best exhibition of body punching I’d seen since the great Steel Kitten. What happened to The Steel Kitten, you may ask? She retired… and she became me, tee hee!!)
(Katora- So, Misty hit me twice low. They were really hard shots, you know. But I’m a trooper and I took them; I don’t think she did it on purpose, so I kept going. But when you get hit there, your coochie sends a message to your brain that you’re in pain, then your brain sends the feeling back down, but it gets to your stomach and stops, so there’s another message to your brain and that one gets sent back your cooch. So, that’s why there’s a delayed reaction when somebody gets hit there; your stomach and your crotch are hurting, and mine was. And she kept hitting me in the stomach, you know. She wasn’t going to let me off easy and I wasn‘t getting my air.)
(Misty- Katora’s belt is in an interesting spot because it’s right across her waist, but it’s a thick wide belt, so it’s covering a good bit of her soft spots, though most of her soft spots are below her waist because of her shape. So, I was pulling it down to get my shots in. She’s got a great defensive stance and she protects herself well, but she’s soft underneath her guard and I had to figure out a way to get the turtle to come out of her shell. I didn‘t mean to hit her low; I was leaning in. The moment I hit her, I felt sorry for her and I waited until she let me know she was okay.)
Misty puts Kat into another muay thai clinch and starts firing knees into her body again, but Katora pushes Misty’s chest and comes off the cage, hurting the taller girl with a hard kick to her ribs on her left side. Misty leans in, going for a quick takedown, but Katora rams a hard knee to her nose.
Misty- UNNHHH!!!!
Misty staggers back and shakes as Katora takes a deep breath and comes forward. Kat fires a kick to Misty’s right side, but Misty blocks it with her arm; the kick cracks across Misty’s forearm and Misty instantly holds her arm and backs up.
Misty- AHHHH!!
Misty is bending over and Katora starts firing punches into Misty’s face and starts slamming hooks into her stomach, doubling Misty over even more as it is clear something is wrong with her arm. Misty goes down from the punches, but gets up using only her legs just to take a grazing kick to her face that lands right across her nose. Katora has fire in her eyes as she continues to hammer Misty as the bell rings to end the first round. Misty goes back to her corner and Jessika and Athena want to take a look at the arm.
Misty- It’s broken… it’s broken. Shit.
Athena- You can’t continue with a broken arm, Misty.
Misty- I want to continue. I was in the fight.
Athena- We have to stop this, Ms. Jessika. We can’t--
Misty- Shut up, Athena! Don’t act like you give a damn about me or anyone else here! I want to finish the fight and I don’t think you Jessika, of all people, are going to tell me that I can’t.
Meanwhile, over in Katora’s corner…
Kayla- Good job, Kat.
Marie- You clearly won that round. She had her moments, but you really had her dead to rights.
Katora- She’s really good, but I think I broke her arm; I felt it crack. I’m not sure though; she may be playing opossum. Ohh… she got me with some really good body shots… really good.
Kayla sticks her hands down the front of Katora’s gi pants and starts massaging her stomach. Katora starts letting out faster “oh oh oh oh oh”
(Kayla- Katora and I weren’t friends back in the Samantha vs. Kayla days. She kicked the crap out of me several times, but it really felt good to stick my hands down her pants and rub her silky belly. In fact, I kinda felt like I had complete control over her, tee hee!)
Marie- Does that make you feel better?
Katora doesn’t answer. She stands and pulls off the jacket to her gi and reveals a white tank top and her large breasts in their black bra, which can be seen through the white tank top (because the bra is black… duh!). Misty stands and the bells rings to start the next round.
(Jessika- I sent Misty out there because she’s an adult and she can make her own decisions on how hurt she is. Her arm was definitely broken, but she wanted to continue. Every fighter who steps in the ring risks his or her life and that’s as much a part of being a fighter as the environment you fight in or the opponent you’re facing. She came from Siena’s camp, and they’re known for continuing to fight, even if they’re injured.)
The two women come together and Misty extends her left glove; Katora extends hers and the two touch and nod. Misty immediately fires a right cross at Katora, who moves under it, slamming a rising left hook to Misty’s jaw that staggers her with an “Unnhh!!” Misty starts trying to bounce away from Katora, but Kat keeps the pressure on, slamming hard hooking shots into her ribs and forcing the taller girl to cover up. Katora throws a vicious combination of hooks and rights to Misty’s stomach and ribs as Misty tries to cover her face, then cracks her with a left hook right cross combo to the jaw when she lowers her arms before a high kick to the left side of her head drops Misty to the mat. Misty springs back on her feet and tries to circle Katora, hitting her gloves with three quick jabs and getting in a nice leg kick to Kat’s right thigh, but Katora explodes on her again, landing a lead uppercut to Misty’s chin, but Misty grabs Kat around her arms and shoves her back, then lands a hard right hand to her stomach as she’s going back.
Katora- Mmm!! Aye!
Katora walks into a right hand while ducking in on Misty. Though the punch grazes her forehead, Kat manages to bang Misty’s right side with a left hook and slam a right cross into her solar plexus, but Misty grabs Katora’s head with her left arm and yanks her forward, digging a knee deep into her stomach and forcing a loud “OOH!!” from the shorter girl. Misty secures the muay thai clinch and starts slamming those knees into Kat’s stomach and sides, doubling the hourglass of kick ass over and forcing Kat to bring both arms around her stomach, leaving her face open to a series of hard left uppercuts that sting her as she backs up. Misty rams a straight right into Kat’s stomach and the shorter girl bends, letting out an “Aye!” and smiling at Misty who shakes her arm and sheds tears from the excruciating pain.
(Misty- The first thing I needed to do with my right was throw it to show her that I wasn‘t going to lay down for her. It was broken; there was nothing I could do about that. So, I just needed to let her know that I was going to fight her with a broken arm and that I still had all my other parts in working order. When the blood started flowing from my nose, I just dealt with it. She‘s not abs of steel down there, so I could use my right hand to hurt her middle and take away her legs.)
Katora bends from another right hand shot to her stomach with an “Aye!” as Misty moves in and tags Kat’s right cheek with two left hooks then forces the air out of her in an “Ooosh!” with a front kick to her stomach.
(Katora- We could see the other girls yelling and I could see Kayla and Marie shouting instructions, but truth is, I couldn’t hear a thing but my breathing and her breathing. We were looking in each other’s eyes and I was just trying to get my wind, but she was catching me when I was breathing in. She’s an expert striker; I knew that years ago, but I knew if I put together a few good shots, she would be out of there, but the girl is tough, you know. Every time she threw her right hand, she would look hurt, whether it missed or not.)
Katora stands and covers up as Misty moves in and lands a left uppercut to the chin, a right uppercut to the chin, two left hooks to the nose, a right hand to Kat’s left side, two hard left hooks to Kat’s exposed vertical slit looking navel that buckle Katora and a right cross to her jaw that staggers her close to the cage wall. Misty grabs Kat with the muay thai clinch and starts backing her up with knees to her stomach; one particularly low knee, maybe a decimeter above Kat’s pubic mound doubles her over coughing. Misty immediately goes for the takedown, but Katora stuffs it by spinning Misty into the cage and firing a combination of punches to Misty’s head that miss or graze her face while Misty digs a hard straight right into Katora’s stomach.
Katora- Uggghhh…. guuuuhhhh… hurgghhh…
Katora places her hand across her stomach, looks weakly at Misty and slowly starts backing up. Her mouth is wide open and her hands are low, so Misty snaps her head back with two hard jabs two her nose and a hard kick to her left leg. Misty goes for another right hand to the stomach, but Kat blocks it, moving away from it. Katora and Misty both look gassed and out of breath. It seems to hurt Misty’s arm more to throw it and miss than when it actually lands because she’s throwing it with so much force. Misty jams another straight right into Katora’s belly and the Cuban is backed against the cage. Misty comes in quickly to attempt another takedown, but Kat knees her in the nose and blood sprays and Misty staggers back on wobbly legs. Katora comes forward, winging hooks at Misty’s jaw, but Misty ducks low, picks Katora up and tries to slam her, only to have her shorter opponent land on her feet again. Misty is moving Katora all over the cage trying to get her on the ground, but Katora won’t go down.
(Kayla- At the pace they were fighting, I knew neither one of them could last the whole three rounds. It was impossible.)
Both fighters are sweating and Katora’s groans are getting louder and louder as they both jockey for grappling supremacy. Finally, Misty, who on paper is the superior grappler, slams Katora’s back into the cage wall and doubles her over with a knee to the stomach, forcing another sick “OOH!! Aye!!” from her and an “UHHH!” from her as her head is turned from a hard right hand to her fat left cheek. Katora immediately rolls with the punch and comes off the cage while Misty is shaking her right hand, then nails Misty with two hard leg kicks to either thigh, a left hook right cross combo to her chin, a hard left hook to her stomach, forcing Misty’s arms down with an “oof!” and a hard double kick to her left side and to her left leg, knocking Misty down. Misty is up immediately as the two fighters stare at each other and work towards cage center, both breathing heavily.
(Spud- My throat was sore yelling to Misty every time she would hit Katora. I ended up losing my voice. I hate Marie and I hate Katora. They both turned their backs on me because Katora wanted off of our team and I wanted Misty to punish her and beat her curvy ass for leaving and joining Marie.)
(Misty- I couldn’t hear anything because I really wasn’t trying to. It was hard enough blocking out the pain; I was hurting all over and every time I hit her and thought I had her on the verge of being done, she’d surprise me and fight back. But I knew she was running out of gas.)
The fighters both take in deep breaths as they both look at the clock and then, at each other. They come together with Katora moving in and Misty steps in and drives a straight right hand into Katora’s stomach, right on the navel.
Katora- Huhhhh… uhhhhh… ahhhh…aye…aye…aye…
Misty’s yells out in pain and grabs her arm, but Katora bends, squats, and goes down on her hands and knees from the punch. Misty dives on Katora, but the shorter girl tries to fight Misty off. Misty gets the mount and starts raining punches on Kat’s face; when Kat covers up, Misty starts driving elbows deep into her stomach, even yanking Kat’s shirt up and battering her abs, which were getting softer and softer with each of the eight shots. Katora wraps her legs around Misty’s left leg and tries to secure it, so Misty scoots up and starts looking for an arm triangle by putting her arms around Kat’s neck and left arm. Kat and everyone else knows Misty is a great submission artist and has one of the best ground games in the business. Being on the ground with Misty isn’t where Katora wants to be, especially after Lisa controlled her on the ground during their fight. Katora bucks and bucks and bucks, grabs Misty by the back of her head and starts elbowing her face and eyes relentlessly. Misty is bleeding badly from two cuts above each of her eyes now and the blood is really running onto Katora’s white tank top. Misty pops her leg free and gets the full mount, raining down punches on Katora’s face while Katora squirms to get out from under her. Katora ends up rolling onto her stomach and Misty looks for a choke as Katora’s body seems to settle, but Katora was only saving her energy for one big buck and the slippery bloody Misty is bucked off of Katora, as both women rise to their feet.
(Jessika- Misty had Katora on the ground… that’s where Misty dominated. With a good arm and not so much blood everywhere, Kat would’ve been choked out.)
(Katora- She definitely had me when she was on top of me. I was hurt and I couldn’t get out from under her, but you don’t stop fighting until you hear the bell ring and I wasn’t gonna submit to her. She was going to have to knock me out, and nobody ever had done that. The knockdown took so much out of me. I could handle her head shots; they hurt, but they didn’t slow me down. It was her body shots… I was like “oooh” every time she hit me. And I just said to myself that I gotta hit her back even more.)
They come together again and Katora fires off a quick kick to Misty’s left side and Misty backs up, clearly hurting from the shot. Katora jumps in, nailing Misty with a series of six uppercuts, before Misty attempts another takedown, which Katora spins out of and sends the taller girl down on her butt. Misty pops back up and moves towards the shorter girl; Misty winces as she misses a right hand and gets nearly floored with a hard head kick from the hourglass of kick ass. Misty is up against the cage again and bleeding badly as Katora rushes in to finish her off, but the bell rings, ending round 2.
NEXT: I'm having internet issues and things aren't going so well with other stuff, so I may have to post the third round tomorrow. But obviously, the third and final round is next.
