April 19, 2024,
They find themselves in similar situations as good and average female wrestlers.
In fact, more often than not, because they are elite, their competition is tougher.
So why, in those situations, often tight, tense and close, do they keep winning?
They just handle it better.
Sometimes it is about talent, but not always.
By way of example, in the Spring, the NFL teams begin to secure or release quarterbacks with a franchise tag and their decision to pay them huge long-term contracts verses not renewing their contracts are often based upon their performances during the playoffs.
When it really matters.
Many good quarterbacks have great winning records during the regular season but come playoff time, as the expression goes, they don’t show up.
The elite quarterbacks do show up. Big time. When the pressure is on. On the world’s largest stage. Under great pressure.
And they win.
In our fully competitive female submission wrestling industry, we have many elite wrestlers who find themselves in tough situations and time after time, they continue to win. If you are a newer female grappler, it is good to become familiar with their names and techniques, under pressure.

RADA GOLD VS SATIVA
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.
The two warriors take a breath and move back to the center of the mats.
The hand fighting starts.
Sativa wins that battle, traps Rada in a floor to sitting body scissor and encases Rada’s right arm, going for an arm bar. Once a veteran like Sativa has you trapped in a hold like that, you are in big trouble.
Painfully bent over, Rada struggles to escape but can’t. She screams and taps out.
2-0 for Sativa (6:14).
BIANCA VS DOLLY
As the match opens, we are blessed to watch both Dolly and Bianca warm up. Dolly, as always, looks incredible in her gray sports bra and briefs, laced in light magenta. Bianca looks mouth- watering in her black sports bra and leopard spotted bikini.
Not only will this match be competitive but super sexy as well.
The warmups are done.
Now it is time for arm wrestling.
Given Dolly’s gorgeous feminine muscle, this is a segment she should win. Right hand struggle, Dolly wins. Left hand struggle, Dolly wins.
So, the arm wrestling established something we already suspected.
Dolly is physically stronger than Bianca.
Time to fight.
They engage in the upper torso area and Dolly willingly falls back on to the floor to try and secure a floor to standing body scissors. In our minds, that is a move of desperation. First of all, if you lose that hold from the floor, all Bianca has to do is fall on top of you. Second, given her washboard Abs, it will be hard to submit a veteran Bianca with scissors from the floor.
Strategically speaking, what in the world is Dolly thinking about?
Bianca breaks the hold.
Predictably, Bianca falls on top of Dolly and encases her on Dolly’s left side.
Already, because of that desperate opening move, Dolly is in trouble and with a very good wrestler like Bianca, if she plays it serious today?
She can easily stream roll you.
With Dolly below, Bianca transfers her position into a cross body pin. Then she slides it into a backwards face sit body scissors which transforms into a brutal side head scissors.
Dolly is in trouble.
Bianca uses her strong athletic muscles to squeeze Dolly who is now bent over with her head between Bianca’s legs. Bianca now performs a crocodile roll and the side scissor has transformed into an elongated backwards head scissor.
Dolly continues to try and pry open Bianca’s locked legs. The Hungarian princess makes a potentially lethal mistake by trying to push Bianca’s head away. Bianca immediately seizes the opportunity to grab Dolly’s right arm and slide it into a painful behind the back arm lock.
Back in the day, we would say she is twisting Dolly’s arm.
Dolly painfully struggles. This is in part why we like Dolly so much. A media group should not have favorites but Dolly is one of our favorites from a competitive stand point and that is why we are happy to promote her sessions.
She is a hard worker.
Dolly squirms as Bianca is desperately trying to hold on to that arm lock.
Dolly continues to struggle as Bianca continues to try and close the deal.
Shockingly Dolly breaks the hold.
That is the good news.
The bad news, as we’ve said over and over again, don’t willingly start your engagement from the floor position because even if you break the hold, you are still on the bottom. As Dolly is here. (4:25).
The Italian star leaps forward while she straddles Dolly at the stomach region. Dolly responds to the upper body attack by clenching her arms to block a smother. Undaunted, Bianca slides her arm behind Dolly’s neck and begins to smother.
Dolly wards her off.
Bianca is relentless and this time pries Dolly’s wrists apart and reasserts her smother putting intense pressure upon Dolly.
Bianca now slides Dolly into a painful side body scissors and Dolly endures that as well.
The gorgeous veteran is now opening up her large playbook and transfers Dolly into a triangle choke as she sits on top of her. Dolly’s beautiful muscular feminine legs kick in desperation.
Bianca maintains the triangle and moves Dolly around the corner of the ring.
Dolly begins to make a move, though still trapped, she finally gets to her knees.
Think about the gravity of that.
This match is now at the 7:50 mark and, due to that incredibly bad opening decision, Dolly has spent the entire match on her back. It is hard to win while you are trapped on your back.
Inch by inch, Dolly is making progress.
Bianca keeps the triangle lock but now she is doing that from the bottom while Dolly is bent over, but at least she is standing. In an MMA cage, Dolly would now have permission to lift Bianca off of the mat and slam her back down to the ground.
Fortunately for Bianca this is not an MMA cage.
Dolly does break the hold.
Only seconds of redemption as the athletic Bianca quickly forces Dolly to give up her back forcing Dolly into the turtle position as she mounts her from behind.
This now places Bianca in an ideal position to apply a brutal rear naked choke.
Which she does and pulls Dolly backwards into her clasp.
Bianca has many wrestling personality traits. Being passive is not one of them. We are now well over nine minutes into this match and she has been all over Dolly, barring the Hungarian princess from mounting any kind of offense.
Brilliant.
With that rear naked choke in place, its game over. Dolly taps out.
1-0 for Bianca (9:34).
They begin with upper hand fighting, an absolutely better strategy for Dolly. She won the arm wrestling contest so that alone should have registered with her that she is stronger than Bianca. With that in mind, against an even or superior opponent, you always play to your strengths, not theirs. Bianca has Abs of steel. It is going to be very hard to submit her with a body scissor while you are lying flat on your back.
Memo to Dolly?
Win, lose or draw, you’re stronger. Fight it out from the shoulder blades and up.
MYSTIQUE VS JUSTICE
The two beauties begin on their knees with wrist grabbing and hand fighting. It is an initial war of attrition.
Typically, in a situation like this, the wrestler with the lesser confidence in her abilities, instead of staying in the hand, wrist and upper torso fighting, to secure the most important hold which is the headlock, she will depart from the struggle and try the often ill-fated floor to sitting body scissor move.
Justice attempts a floor to sitting body scissor on Mystique.
Here’s the deal.
Again and again.
If a female wrestler attempts a floor to sitting body scissor, she better make good on it because if she messes it up, which is very likely, a superior opponent is now on top of her.
Too, with a great wrestler like Mystique, do you really believe you are going to submit her with a move like that?
Not likely.
So now?
Justice messed up.
And the result?
Mystique is right on top of her.
Justice is in desperation mode underneath the superior warrior.
Forgive us for this, but we’ve always felt that Justice has some of the most beautiful feminine thick legs in the industry, and when she is kicking away in a bikini, it is almost too much to bear. Mystique keeps the feminine beauty trapped underneath her and is closing in on the kill. She captures Justice in a choke and leaps over for a frontal smother and Justice immediately taps out.
1-0 for Mystique (2:25).
Let’s see if Justice learns her lesson.
She seems to.
They begin with upper hand fighting and when in a good position, Justice leaps for the headlock. Good move. Mystique fights it off, pushes Justice backwards and down and now Justice is fighting from below again. The superior British wrestler is trying to keep her pinned there and after an energetic scramble, Justice escapes.
Very good.
They begin again.
Justice stays up top with the fight. Excellent. Mystique is going to give her all that she’s got. She pushes Justice backwards and gets her down to the floor. Justice uses her athletic legs to keep Mystique at bay while she grabs the talented British wrestler’s right arm, trying for an arm bar. Mystique is not going to let her have that and is relentless in trying to get on top of Justice again.
There has been a lot of loud hand slapping and hard kicking in this match and Justice uses those gorgeous legs to forcefully kick Mystique off of her.
Ouch.
Mystique is a little surprised but gathers herself and is ready to go again.
They hand, wrist and upper struggle again. Justice stays in the fight, using her arms to keep Mystique at a distance.
Good girl.
Mystique is relentless in trying to get Justice back down on those mats so she can put her away. Justice is fighting (and hard kicking) back with all that she’s got.
Mystique finally breaks through, forces Justice down to the mats and immediately head hunts from the top.
Justice is in trouble.
Mystique is countering from the crown of Justice’s body, trying to stay away from the harsh kicks.
Very wise.
Successful at avoiding the feminine girl’s legs, Mystique now applies a full mount as Justice cannot leg scissor what isn’t nearby. It is just a matter of time. Mystique closes in on the kill with a combination joint lock and smother and, for now, Justice is done.
2-0 for Mystique.
They begin to hand fight. Slowly. Carefully.
Justice loses patience or confidence or both and tries for the ill-fated floor to sitting body scissor.
She semi-captures Mystique for a minute but Mystique relentlessly pushes towards Justice’s head. Some fabric falls from the ceiling and fortunately for Justice, in a very weak position, the action is stopped.
Time to start again.
With hand fighting of course. Get used to it. This is where every good female wrestler has to make her hay. This time, Justice stays in the engagement. When you think about it, this is the most advantage way for her. She is taller and slightly heavier than slender Mystique. Justice?
Stay up top.
Get that headlock.
Mystique is one very determined girl. She out fights Justice and wins the headlock. She takes the British girl down and immediately mounts her, headlock in tow. Justice quickly leg scissors Mystique’s left leg to prevent a full mount but when Mystique gets you in this position, it’s not your imagination.
You are in trouble.
Mystique continues to press down and tighten the headlock. Justice has enough and taps out.
3-0 for the stellar British star (7:14).
SUMMARY
As you can see, against very good to elite wrestlers, Sativa, Bianca and Mystique just perform better.
Study them. There is much to learn. When the lights get the brightest?
They show up big time.
