Victory to be awarded via pinfall or submission inside the ring or knockout
Kimiko let out a sigh still getting ready for her next match, some higher ups at LAW watched as young lioness did pretty well in both previous matches and wondered how she would do in something more extreme and so it was booked, a hardcore match. Kimiko wasn't exactly thrilled, she preferred to use her fist, kicks, anything but weapons; she didn't see much honor in using them but she wasn't about to let her growing fanbase down and refuse a challenge that the fans and the higherups were likely excited to see. The Japanese woman sat down to tie her boots thinking of how it might be good to get used to this sort of match as it could be an occasional or regular occurrence going further. Kimiko then stood up giving her arms a nice long stretch before bending down to touch her toes wanting to maker sure she was nice and loose for the likely grueling match ahead of her. Kimiko
Kimiko left the locker room and headed towards the curtain, she didn't have to really hurry as she started to get use to the schedule of being a wrestler and arrived to the arena earlier than usual. Kimiko simply leaned against the wall as she waited a minute for her music to begin serving as the cue for her to make her entrance in a few seconds
ENTERING FIRST STANDING AT 5'5 AND WEIGHING 120 POUNDS.... KIMIKOOOOOO BANDOOOOOO Music
With the announcer introducing her Kimiko walked out onto the stage standing still and looking at the ground for a few moments, waiting for the drums her music to intensify before raising her arms in the air and letting out a war cry . Kimiko then smiled soaking in the fans, high fiving some of them as she made her way to the ring. Kimiko enjoyed the cheering crowd as much as they seemed to enjoy her, it was truly something she loved most about wrestling. Upon reaching to ring Kimiko slid in and went to her corner and climbed the turnbuckle raising her arms in the air like she did before. Kimiko then hopped down relaxing and waiting for her opponent to make entrance.

When she signed up for LAW, Dita had never expected that two of her first matches would be of the hardcore variety. In fact, to this point, she'd yet to find herself in a standard match at all. This wasn't particularly intimidating to her, she'd been in combat sports too long for that to be the case and she'd won her previous hardcore match. But such matches always took a toll on the human body & it was preferable to fight in them when one has something to fight for. Whether that be a tournament, a championship, or even the chance to hurt someone that deserved it. The idea of risking going out for weeks due to an injury from an exhibition match against someone she had nothing against wasn't exactly appealing to her. But at least since this match was early enough in her career that she could at least consider it part of making a name for her self. Her theme began, signaling her out.
Entering Second, Standing at 5'6 and weighing at 120 Pounds, Its the Queen of Counters, Dita Ibarra-Espinosa, Rhythm! She entered, wearing her usual attire
Dita got cheers, she always did, her energetic personality & the success of her previous endeavors brought that & she lived up to it in the moment by running to the ring and jumping on the ring apron. Once there, she entered by flipping over the top rope, then she headed to her corner to shadow box a bit before turning back around to her opponent.
"Don't take it personally, but I'm going to give you a beating you'll never forget!" She told her opponent, meaning both sincerely. She didn't have any reason to dislike her opponent, but if she was going to make any use of an exhibition hardcore match, she needed to show off the damage she could do, as well as take. Letting her opponent know that she wasn't going easy on her was a good way to make sure she didn't go easy on her, either. Not that she was too concerned about that. Kimiko was a middleweight & in boxing she'd be a full 3 classes above her, despite them being around the same height. The woman that was used to fighting larger middleweights would get a chance to be the bigger fish in a hardcore match, however things went, Dita would get more than enough of a chance show off her endurance.
Seeing her opponent arrive Kimiko briefly smiled before leaning back in the corner thinking of how to minimize any damage her body might take tonight knowing it was best to avoid and injury or anything that could lead to one, not only was it still early in her career these sorts of matches could make it a short one if she wasn't careful, but it was best not to think purely on the negative as she still wanted to make sure the fans had an exciting match to watch.
Kimiko then looked up seeing Dita joining her in the ring prompting her to stand up straight not only to show respect, but just to be ready in case Dita tried to pull anything, she didn't really had any reason to trust or distrust Dita though considering she was booked in a match such as this it didn't set the best image of her in the young lioness's mind as the woman shadow boxed before turning around. Kimiko stood stoically in response to the woman's sincere threat. "Maybe but I'm going to make sure I give you a beating twice as hard" Kimiko responded not exactly bothered or mad about her opponent's threats understanding that pain was a big part of this business and having a tolerance for it was going to be a big part moving forward. Kimiko then waked towards the center of the ring offering a handshake "Lets just make sure the fans have a good time alright?" Kimiko said with a smile.
"As long as you have a cute scream look good with a bloody face, I'm sure they will." Dita sad with a grin as she shook her opponent's hand when she offered it. She them pulled closer to the woman, too in order to whisper into her ear.
"I'm probably going to do things like call you a bitch and threathen to break every bone in your body and in the moment, I will think you're a bitch and will try to break every bone in your body, but that'll stop as soon as match ends, ok? So remember to give up when you're scared." Rhythm said before pulling back, & letting go of the handshake.
Dita then stepped back, with her her fists ready and raised for the start of the match, standing as close to Kimiko as the referee would allow her. The moment the match began, she would attempt to open up with a straight jab to her opponent's nose. Breaking it as quickly as she could was to be a match priority. It was a nasty way to fight, but if she was going to win, Dita had to do plenty more than cause some bruises if she was going to win this match.

Kimiko felt a bit unsettled by her opponent's comment and grin yet the woman still surprisingly accepted her handshake and pulled her in close whispering something that could be considered a threat or reassurance, Kimiko wasn't sure though the final words sounded more like a threat than anything as Dita let go and stepped back. Seeing her opponent's first raised, Kimiko stood in more of a grappling position, she wasn't exactly used to seeing punches in wrestling, barely seeing any in her matches outside of a few in her debut that she used to escape a hold. The only thing keeping the two women separated as the referee and they didn't offer any protection as the moment the bell rang Dita's fist connected with her nose before she could even lung forward causing her to stagger back holding it, her nose bleeding and likely broke. "YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Kimiko cussed, this was normally extremely out of character for her but this match already setting itself up to be the most brutal of Kimiko's career this far.

It was fortunate for Dita that her opponent was ckearly far more versed in grappming then striking, because as the mslatch began she held her arms up high in preperation for a grapple. So when she lunged forward, that only added to the closing speed of Rhythm's fist and Kimiko's nose. The result was a sounding smack of impact of knuckles hitting a face.
With the first strike of the match, Dita had managed to break her opponent's nose, which was about as good of a start as she could have posdibly hoped for. Unsurprisingly, her opponent was pissed & screamed at her, but Dita couldn't care less. In fact, she was about to make the situation even worse for her opponent using her left hand, she'd attempt to claw at Kimiko's broken nose, partially to cause her pain, but mostly to distract her & bring her hands up to protect her face.
Dita would immediately pull her right fist back, bring it forward for haymaker targeted at her opponent's liver, early as it was in the match, she was going for a critical signature of hers, a... Cow's Bell
Kimiko's eyes and body filled with rage as she stagged back from the punch to her nose, blood running down her upper lip. Kimiko would keep staggering back not allowing her opponent to get close until she was ready. So as Dita closed in an attempted to claw at her nose Kimiko would bring her leg up and attempt to kick Dita in the side of the head as the woman attempt to close the distance between the two. If successful Kimiko would then deliver another kick directly to Dita's nose in order to return the favor and break it as well as likely leaving the woman stunned and reeling from two shots to the head!
As Dita followed up on Kimiko as she staggered backward, she kept both arms up high, one ready to grab her opponent's face, the other rearing to punch her in the liver. But befofire she could do either, her opponent's leg came up for a kick to her head. Luckily, her left hand was in prime position to be brought across to slam her forearm into Kimiko's calf, slowing at least some of the impact of her kick, which left her just barely capable of grabbing her opponent's foot with both hands with the next kick that came up toward her head before impact.
Without even thinking of the implications of what she'd try next, she'd let go of Kimiko's foot with one hand while shifting herself forward and pulling the leg toward her, the aim? Bringing an elbow down hard right above the woman's knee.
