Alizeh Midori (D) vs Adrian Kytes: Starting against the Best

Barely managing to kick out of Adrian's pinfall Alizeh was laying on her side, panting, breathing heavily, trying to shake off the damage taken to her neck and get herself back in this fight. Unfortunately however now that she had the advantage Adrian wasn't going to let it slip from her fingers anytime soon. Forcing her over onto her stomach before pulling her against her will to her feet. Only to force her to bend and place her head between the veteran's legs.

It didn't matter what state Alizeh was in she knew instinctively how terrible a position this was and that she couldn't let whatever Adrian was looking for to happen. As she felt herself started to be lifted up Alizeh would try her best to push her legs out to keep herself from being lifted. If successful with that she would try and swing her fist around, trying to punch Adrian in the ribs to try and force her to back off!

Arms hooked, now it was time to lift Alizeh up into the air...

...It was time to lift Alizeh up into the air!

Time to... yeah this wasn't happening. "Stop sandbagging!" Adrian complained as her third attempt at lifting the Emerald Storm off her feet was somehow less productive than the first. The former champ was forced to abandon her grip on Alizeh's arms to try and get a better grip and more leverage around her foe's waist but she was quick to take the opportunity, swinging out at the veteran the moment her arms were free "Oof!" she grunted like a pitch-altered Roblox avatar as a shot caught her in the ribs, giving the debutant the space she needed to escape from her perilous situation.

On the verge of getting her skull spiked again Alizeh was doing everything in her power to keep that from happening. Throwing her weight back at every chance resisting her opponent's efforts to finish her move, and now throwing punches at the woman's ribs to make her back off!

Thankfully this would soon pay off for Alizeh as she managed to get the distance she needed so badly... Only to then close it as she darted towards Adrianne, spinning on her heel while swinging her arm up and around, trying to smack her fist into the side of the veteran's face with a spinning back fist!

"Tch, come on!" Adrian grunted as she struggled to get some form of control back over Alizeh, especially now she was having to deal with stinging fists to her ribs and not just getting winded by the barrage of body blows coming up from the rookie and forcing the veteran to step back "Ugh!" Not to have her hard work undone so fast, the brunette took a step in and aimed to swing her leg up high, looking to catch the Emerald Storm with a roundhouse kick to the head.

*THWACK!*

...Until the green haired fighter's fist caught her flush in the face before she could throw out the kick, instead the blow spun Adrian around looking out on her feet with her back to Alizeh.
