January 18, 2025,
The sayings still hold true. To this day.
Birds of a feather, flock together.
To be the best, you have to beat the best.
Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are.
You are who you hang out with.
The cute girls always hang out together.
Wait a minute. The last one is ours. It certainly does apply in the fully competitive female submission wrestling industry. At all levels.
Today, we are speaking of the most elite levels in our industry and in terms of the best wrestling one another, the most elite events are found at Antscha’s.
To celebrate that, we are going to walk down memory lane and enjoys excerpts from two elite matches that took place there.
SATIVA VS RADA GOLD
This will be an International fight between Rada of Belarus and Sativa from the United Kingdom.
The two female warriors begin on their knees.
As they engage, they begin hand fighting and soon Rada fires the first volley by wrapping her arm behind Sativa’s neck and trapping the British warrior in a near Guillotine choke.
Sativa is trapped.
Will it be permanent?
Rarely. Sativa breaks the hold and now with Rada on the bottom, begins to circle around from her knees to trap the well-toned athlete. Underneath, Rada is circling with her, blocking her at every turn (1:35).
Sativa is very persistent. Literally burrowing to try and break through Rada’s defenses and land on top of her but Rada is just as persistent in blocking.
Finally Rada’s resistant pays off.
Sativa makes a mistake and lowers her head a little too much. Rada captures it and now has a headlock.
That is the good news.
The bad news is that she has captured it from the bottom. Not a great position for a headlock. Always capture from the top so that you can have your body fall on top of your opponent.
Right now, Sativa is on top of her, though Rada has trapped her right leg to prevent a full mount. Sativa is rising up and moving forward to try and break that leg clasp. Rada has a tigress in aggression that she is trying to keep at bay. (2:01).
As Rada continues to try and kick Sativa off, the British star is very persistent in trying to get a full mount on Rada.
She finally does.
Now Rada is in trouble as Sativa goes for the smother and the pin count begins.
Credit to Rada as she kicks Sativa off (2:50).
Undaunted, Sativa circles around and suppresses Rada with a side body pin. She makes it count.
Then Antscha begins to count.
Rada is almost counted out but manages to escape.
Sativa is relentless and acrobatically swallows up Rada with a full mount.
Rada is very strong and emerges from underneath. To stay with her back on the floor would have drained a tremendous amount of energy. Sativa still keeps her trapped in a floor to kneeling body scissor, but now it is Sativa who is on the bottom.
They struggle.
Sativa manages to get back on top.
Brilliantly, the British maiden uses to wall to add leverage, is on top of Rada in a reverse smothering position and Antscha begins to count Rada out.
This time Sativa makes it stick and Rada is submitted (4:40).
1-0 for Sativa.
DOLLY VS PAMELA
The two female warriors will begin on their knees, in the squared circle.
They begin with upper hand and neck fighting. Pamela wins at this junction, no surprise, because it involves skill over strength.
In this fight today, Dolly has the strength and Pamela has the experience and better tactical skills. The challenge for Dolly will be, can she mount an offense? The challenge for Pamela will be, even though she is the higher skilled wrestler, looking at her body style compared to Dolly, will she have enough strength to close the deal?
Pamela traps Dolly in a Guillotine Choke and squeezes. You can see the veins popping out of Dolly’s neck as Pamela has her down on the mat floor. This struggle will last for a minute. Pamela is tightening and squeezing as hard as she can. Dolly won’t budge.
Pamela rolls Dolly and lands on top, but she gave up the Guillotine Choke.
This time, in a war of attrition, strength won out (1:40)
Always remember, Dolly did not break the hold. Pamela let go of it.
Dolly is now fighting from the bottom with Pamela on top as both athletes are clasping one another with upper head and neck arm locks.
Pamela rolls Dolly into a side body scissor. Dolly counters and eventually Pamela let’s go of that hold too. (3:00).
Twice now, strength has won out over technique.
Having said that, those are small victories for Dolly. Why? As the match wears on, eventually strength tires out. This is in part why Dolly lost a close match to Warrior Amazon, got demolished by Orsi B. and lost to Bianca in a very close match but was on her back literally 90 percent of the time.
Having a great defense is good but at some point you need to score.
Against upper intermediate and elite wrestlers, Dolly always seems to be on the defensive. We have not seen the rest of this video, but if this keeps up, we suspect skill (Pamela) will break through and win.
At his point Pamela is bent over Dolly. The Hungarian stars has Pamela wrapped in a circular headlock and tightens the squeeze but the problem is she is doing from the bottom. Though technically they are in a neutral position, Dolly is clearly expending more energy.
Dolly needs to use her strength and roll Pamela over.
Pamela takes that thought and rolls Dolly into a side body scissors and squeezes hard.
This goes on for some time.
Pamela gives up on the potential submission hold and positions herself back on top of Dolly, though still in Dolly’s headlock.
For the third time, strength triumphed over technique (4:00).
Having said that, Pamela still remains in the position of strength. Bodies elongated, Pamela is applying the pressure, for a possible smother, to Dolly’s neck and head area. This is appearing to be a disturbing pattern for Dolly against very good to elite wrestlers.
She is often fighting from the floor, on her back.
Yes, Dolly has a great defense. A magnificent one.
But at some point you need to score a touchdown if you are going to win.
Pamela is relentless from the top position and ties up Dolly in a grapevine.
Dolly is trying to use her strength to turn Pamela over but too late. She stayed on the bottom too long. Pamela rolls the Hungarian princess into a side body scissors coupled with a brutal headlock and its game over.
Dolly taps out.
Technique wins out. Over strength. Eventually it almost always does.
1-0 for the Italian star (5:10).
SUMMARY
These ladies are the best.
These two exciting matches prove that.
