January 18, 2024,
Statuesque Diana, of the Czech Republic, wins virtually all of her matches.
She is a legend.
We have come to expect that.
Sometimes the intrigue in her victories lies in how she does it.
Today, at the great Femwrestle Event in Troisdorf, Germany, she will face a mid-level wrestler in Germany’s Iron.
Iron is a solid wrestler but, in terms of her record, we have seen the opposite. She tends to lose more than she wins.
So, in the real sports world, and we see the great Femwrestle Events as one of them, when you are the favorite, you have to take care of business and win in any environment against someone you are expected to beat. Diana is on Iron’s home turf, we sense that the blonde warrior will get the job done, we’re just curious to see, as to how.
Time to go ringside.
DIANA VS IRON
The two athletic maidens are introduced and look festive in their attire. Diana is adorned in bright lime green and Iron sports bright red pants.
They walk to the center.
They begin with upper hand fighting and it is immediately clear that Diana is the stronger of the two.
With her right arm, she takes Iron down to the mats with a headlock.
Iron is squirming underneath and already is in trouble.
Diana begins to lean into the German beauty with her right shoulder as Iron resists. This goes on for some time as they circle around and surprisingly, Iron breaks the formidable hold.
They come back to their knees but Diana, on a half-knee, towers over Iron.
The girls hand fight as Diana paws and paws and uses her left arm to grasp Iron behind the head, then takes her down. Now she can slide on top of the German princess and does. Iron quickly clasps Diana’s strong arms in a clench and then unexpectedly lets go of it.
That is all that Diana needs.
She maneuvers Iron’s right wrist into an arm lock, cranks and Iron taps out.
1-0 for Diana (2:38).
Time to engage.
From their knees they hand fight. Iron’s name is truly appropriate. She is an upper body specimen. If only she could translate those muscles to skills. Diana wraps Iron in a headlock, gains the top position, captures Iron’s right arm in a leg vice, squeezes and Iron quickly taps out. The way that Iron is conceding so quickly, this could turn into a blowout.
2-0 for Diana (3:05).
The two get ready to engage.
Looking at Iron, she truly is a muscular specimen but she has no answers for MMA tactics.
The two wrestle and Diana, the larger girl, captures Iron from behind. The champion performs a cross body, for a potential pin, but goes with what is working, extends Iron’s left arm, places pressure on the elbow and Iron immediately taps out.
3-0 to Diana (4:00).
Ready to go.
They begin with gentle hand fighting but Diana is now starting to put on a clinic. She captures Iron from behind, takes her down as she forces the German beauty to give up her back, locks in a rear naked choke, squeezes and Iron taps out.
4-0 for the Czech star (4:40).
Okay. If Diana wants to try different holds and put on a clinic, we are happy to watch.
Now, Diana is going to try something that we have preached over and over not to do. Unless you just have a lot of time on your hands because it rarely submits anyone. What is it?
The floor to sitting body scissor.
In today’s modern MMA trained world, do you really think you can submit a muscle girl with a scissor around her waist? Then once she breaks the hold, she is right on top of you.
Diana applies the hold from the floor position.
Iron is clearly under duress but this is the first time during the match we see Iron strongly resisting. Diana is determined, has captured Iron’s arms and is squeezing hard. We sense Iron is tempted to tap, but doesn’t. It took some time but Iron eventually breaks the hold and is now on top of Diana, capturing a headlock.
Intriguing.
What will Iron do with this advantage?
The stronger Diana immediately flattens out, on her stomach, in an elongated but defensive position, like a turtle going back into its shell.
Iron is riding and sitting on top of her. She is trying to penetrate the armor but is having no success. Still, she should remain patient. This may be her best opportunity for a submission. Diana finally moves a little and Iron quickly goes for a scissor from the top. Very important, Diana keeps her own arm under her throat to block any choke attacks.
Iron tries lifting her up from the stomach.
More than once, but Diana is incredibly good at not allowing Iron to penetrate her armor.
Well done.
Iron gives up on the advantage and the two come back to their knees to start again.
Given what just happened, even as a superior warrior, we wonder if Diana will try that often unwise floor to sitting body scissor again during this match. Quick answer?
Probably not.
As the girls go back to their knees, Diana begins to control the action.
Again.
Diana takes control of the upper shoulder area, soon taking down Iron with a tough right arm headlock then begins to circle around, taking Iron with her, who soon gives up her back. Diana goes back to what works, over and over.
Now that she secures the headlock, she lands her strong body on top of Iron, pulls Iron’s left arm outward and applies an arm extension lock. Iron taps out.
5-0 for Diana (10-24).
As they begin, Diana takes charge once more and Iron begins to project a more defensive mode, trying to keep Diana at bay as the athletic blonde takes the fight to her. That will only work for so long. Diana is very acrobatic, reminds us of Hungary’s Sheena, as she rolls around and over Iron, keeping the brunette pinned underneath until she takes control of the top position again. She flattens out over Iron who is trying to use her arms to fence her off but to no avail. Diana soon grabs Iron’s right arm, joint locks it and Iron taps out.
6-0 to the champion (12:42).
Time to begin.
It as though Iron has become more feminine and concedes dominance to Diana. She doesn’t appear to be taking any offensive stance at all as she fights from the bottom floor, once again, staving off the inevitable with her legs. Diana feeds upon that and begins to dominate from the top, forcing Iron to give up her back, rides her from behind before she pulls the German’s muscular arms backwards and effectively scissors her from behind.
Diana is patient and methodical.
With Iron trapped in the behind the back scissor, Diana begins to work the German girl’s arms, secures a rear naked choke and Iron meekly taps out.
Diana leads 7-0 (14:35)
They engage.
They begin with upper shoulder and behind the neck attacks and, as usual, Diana wins that battle. The stunning blonde takes Iron down into a floor to sitting body scissor but this time applies a headlock as well, behind Iron’s neck. Crushed, Iron taps out.
8-0 for Diana (15:18).
Iron takes a passive responsive position. Diana is an acrobatic aggressor and she secures Iron in the bottom position and then rolls around on top of her, flattens out, and goes for a temporary smother. Iron fences her off, essentially biting the bait, instead of keeping her arms locked and tight to the chest, so she is easy prey for another arm and joint lock. She taps.
9-0 for Diana.
The match has now quietly ended.
Diana won, as we expected. We were just curious how she was going to win. What techniques would she apply since she was never going to be threatened in this match? This was her chance to take risks and open up the playbook. Cement what works.
She did both.
The arm and joint lock submissions were done over and over. In the elite sports arena, keep doing what works until your opponent stops you.
Muscles and all, Iron had no answer for that.
Then try something different, like the ill-advised floor to sitting body scissor. Diana did that once and it didn’t work. She tried it again only the next time, she applied a combination hold, scissor and headlock.
It worked.
Diana put on a clinic.
If you are a female wrestler who would like to up her game, this is a good video to watch.
