Standard Match: Winner to be declared by Pinfall, Submission, or KO
Zira had been on a roll lately. Match after match she was showing the entire LAW universe just why she was a former favorite to be ufc heavyweight champion, and why she should be a favorite to win the LAW heavyweight title. Having such strong momentum Zira was only looking to keep it rolling with even more velocity.
As such when presented the chance to face a debuting heavyweight she was all too eager to accept the challenge. Some could say that her brimming confidence was a sign of arrogance, but if you asked Zira she would just say that it was well earned and factual. Afterall Zira only ever bragged about what she did accomplish and she very rarely dramaticized anything, which was why when she said she was going to beat this rookie tonight.. she meant it. Spoiler
Music starting up throughout the arena the fans immediately began cheering in turn as Zira stepped through the curtain and posed proudly, showing off her sculpted figure shown off by her tight wrestling outfit. Needless to say between her looks and her strong showings in previous matches it was clear that she was becoming a fan favorite, despite her cockiness. Spoiler
Strutting down the ramp while posing and flexing for the crowd Zira would break out into a run the rest of the way to the ring, jumping to land on the apron before turning around to face the fans and giving a wink. Throwing her leg up so high that her calf was practically touching her cheek before bringing the leg back down and then turning to leap over the ropes and stand in the ring, approaching the center before turning and leaning forward on her knees, waiting with a grin for her opponent to come down.
Zira's cocksure attitude and impressive reputation by themselves were enough to get the crowd amped, enthusiastic cheers filling the massive arena in support of the rising rabbit star! She was clearly pegged as a heavy favorite for tonight's match- Especially with her picture perfect poses, causing a noticeable uptick in flash photography whenever she pulled one! And yet despite the crowd being enraptured with Zira, an air of mystery hung heavy, with murmurs surging through the audience, speculating on what the new debutee could possibly be like...
Entrance Theme
An unfamiliar theme heraled the arrival of Sasha Whittaker, who sauntered onto the stage with a confident gait- And already fans were caught off-guard by what they saw! A tall woman with a well-built, muscular figure, twirling a cutlass in her hand before raising it high into the air! With a wild pink mane and a visible scar on her smiling face, it was hard not to be intrigued by this new buccaneer! Sasha Whittaker!
Pointing her sword to the ring, and flashing a wide grin to Zira, Sasha would then disarm herself and march down the ramp with a purpose, eager to get things started. She slid under the ropes and hopped to her feet, wasting no time in standing toe-to-toe and sizing up her veteran opponent!
Standing in the ring with a confident grin never leaving her face it would only grow as the music of her opponent finally started up and finally the debuting talent would come out... to a piratey vibe to her! Slightly surprised by this Zira shrugged, what her opponent wore didn't didn't matter at all to her. All that mattered was that she was built, almost as tall as her, and she looked fierce and ready for a fight.
Just the way Zira liked em. Grinning ear to ear now as Sasha entered the ring Zira couldn't help but hop on the balls of her heels in excitement. "Little early for halloween isn't it?" She asked teasingly before putting her fists up in preparation after dropping into a ready stance.
"Then again pirates are good at fighting right?" Zira asked, her single minded desire for a fight showing brightly as she waited for the bell, it being quite literally the only stopping her from letting loose right now.
"Heh..." Zira' first question earned a hearty chuckle from the pirate, placing her hands firmly on her hips as she flashes a wide grin. "I could ask the same of you, Ms. Easter Bunny..."
With a slow roll of her neck and inhale through her nostrils, Sasha poised herself for the coming battle, rolling her broad shoulders and raising her fists in front of her. "But yer in luck, lass- There's few things I love more than a good brawl." A fire in her belly, Sasha shoots a cheeky wink Zira's way. "So y'better make sure ye can keep up."
That demand lingered in the air as they both continued to stare each other down. awaiting the bell...
DING!
And the second she was given the okay, the pirate lunged into action, cocking her fist back to throw a stern haymaker right for the vet's cheek!
Lightly taunting Sasha was really a way of testing the pirate's mettle as it were, no pun intended. But Zira needed to see if that intimidating stature was just for show or if there was some real fire behind her, if she would be as good an opponent as Zira was hoping. So far she wasn't disappointed in the slightest, in fact only grinning wide at her foe's response.
"Ohohoho got some moxie huh? Good I like that." Zira said with a nod as she put her own fists up in ready anticipation for what she hoped would be a good ol fashioned slug fest. "I was just about to say the same to you honestly." Zira admittedy with a grin.
As if sensing that the two behemoths in the ring wouldn't be contained for much longer the bell would ring soon after, starting the match between the two with Sasha taking the incentive, lashing out with a punch to Zira's face! "Ngh! Not bad!" Zira got out, pushed back by the punch but grinning all the same as she stepped forward and swung her fist around, aiming a punch of her own right back at Sasha's face!
Should the hit land then Zira wouldn't follow up, nor would she make a move to dodge or block a follow up. Quite the contrary, she was gesturing for Sasha to hit her back, she wanted it! "Come on!" Zira yelled out excitedly, wanting for Sasha's return shot!
Sasha retracted her fist after catching Zira in the face, immediately dropping her guard to instead beckon the rabbit to strike back- It was if the two were kindred spirits, quickly understanding and sharing each other's desires to stand and bang in a fierce test of endurance!
"Gyhah--!" The pirate grunted out as her head snapped to the side from Zira's blow, before a breath and a loud laugh bellowed from her chest! "Aye! That's what I'm talking about, lass! Keep it going!" Feeling the rush of the exchange, Sasha reached out to grab hold of Zira's head, looking to hold it in place as she hurls an elbow in return for her head!
It went without saying that Zira and Sasha were most definitely women of the same heart. Each throwing punches at each other without rest or worry or even a thought of trying to defend or dodge the blows. No it was all or nothing offense from the start and neither was ready to back down just yet. In fact they were only looking to press on with even more offense!
Grinning at Sasha's statement Zira would give a nod of appreciation. "Then keep hitting!" Zira yelled out excitedly before finding her hair grabbed so that her opponent could throw a elbow at her!"Ngh! hehe.. getting spicy now huh!?" Zira yelled out after groaning from the elbow, reaching up to grab a handful of hair herself before reciprocating with a return elbow shot at Sashsa's face!
"Yeah? Y'like a bit of hair tuggin'?" Sasha smirked at her opponent- Not out of contempt, but rather glee that she's taken so well to the early explosion of offense. It's been ages since the buccaneer has had a proper brawl, and she could feel the blood pumping in her veins as Zira grabbed her own pink locks! "Woman after me own hear--"
Whatever compliment Sasha was about to give was promptly interrupted by another harsh slug to her head- That one definitely rung Sasha's bell! "Gwugh--!" The swashbuckler felt her body lurch to the side slightly, her smile faltering as she shook her head- No time for anymore pleasantries! With both woman clutching each other's hair, there was only one thing to do- Fire cannonshot after cannonshot until they're broken up or one of them goes down! And Sasha was intent on staying afloat!
Zira and Sasha were two women of a same mind. Swing first, react second, swing again. That was what the opening moments of this match had been from the start, battering each other over and over with fist after fist and now hand fulls of each others hair as they continued to take turns slamming fists into each other's skulls with increasing fury and speed!
Grunting and groaning in pain with each blow Zira would grit her teeth as things proceeded. As much as she hated to admit it she couldn't keep this up forever, she would have to change something up sooner than later. Shooting her other arm up to snatch another handful of her foe's hair Zira would shift to lock in a muay thai clinch, which if complete she would proceed to start driving knee lift after knee lift into her opponent's gut, trying to break down her opponent's abs with repeated knee strikes!
The relentless onslaught of blows was slowly but surely taking its toll on both fighters, with Sasha's face growing a deep red from the repeated impact of Zira's fists. The pirate didn't seem intent to drop things soon, grunting out with every swing she threw, and every swing she took in return...
When she felt a second hand grab hold of her hair, and a hefty knee striking her abdomen! The buccaneer's eyes shot open as she hunched forward, a hearty groan escaping her throat and hands reaching to hold her gut! Her arms did little to block the rush of knees hammering her knees, leaving Sasha to gasp out with each heavy blow.
"Ugh... E-... Enough!" Sasha suddenly cried out as, upon Zira's next attempted knee, she shot her arms out in an attempt to catch it and hold it to her body! If she was successful, the pirate would grab at Zira's shorts, letting out a shout as she'd try to lift the bunny up... And SLAM her right back down to the mat!
