Laura Kozłowska(D) vs Yumie Hayashi

[ThatPolishDude]

Laura knew there was absolutely no way she could get that pin, all she really wanted was to make Yumie release her hold and she got exactly that as the woman was forced to let go of the blond and roll away, which was a smart thing to do given if Laura was given just a second longer she'd try rolling Yumie into an armbar. As it was, however, she rolled in the opposite direction, rubbing her neck and coughing. It got closer to the wire than she was comfortable with.

She'd get back to her feet, taking just a moment longer than Yumie did, feeling both the exhaustion of the match and the slowly fading effects of the choke. Neither of them could keep it up for too long, she was certain, what escaped her was how to actually approach the fight now. Though if she'd waste time mulling it over it would be over without haveing her done a single thing and so she took a deep breath, stepping forward to try and throw an overhand right at her opponent's head!

If it wasn't for Laura's good awareness Yumie likely could have kept the choke locked in until she inevitably went limp and took a nice nap in the center of the ring. Yumie knew she needed to put this match away soon, Laura may have been tired, but she was just about the same and both women had likely only been a few seconds away from losing the match, Laura from a choke and Yumie from a pin.

Watching her opponent rise back up to her feet, Yumie was ready for what could be the last stand for either woman in this match, all it took was one big move, one big mistake, to win or lose this match. Seeing her opponent's fist swing Yumie quickly side stepped to avoid it before rushing closer, wrapping her arms around the woman's torso before lifting her up and squeezing her with an impromptu bearhug, wanting to squeeze some of her opponent's remaining energy out of her.

Laura's punch struck nothing at all as her opponent closed the distance between them and before she could react to it in any way whatsoever she found herself wrapped up tight, lifted into the air and squeezed. If someone told her a bearhug could hurt as much as this just a few days ago, Laura would fall over laughing but now, she did not find it funny at all, gritting her teeth and trying to breathe, which only made it hurt more and in turn increased the panic settling over her.

With each second she could feel more and more of her strength leaving her and if she did not do something about it, she might as well give up right here. Trying to hang in this fight just a little while longer, she'd start throwing punches down at Yumie's head, mostly hammer fists to get the most out of each strike at such a short range!

Yumie took a moment letting herself focus as she squeezed her opponent, slowly crushing her, squeezing any strength and energy her opponent had left. If Yumie could manage it she could have kept the hold locked in and Laura possibly would have tapped or passed out, but instead of the woman continue to fight! "Nnnn" Yumie winced as her head was punched, she felt her hold slipping and she had to act quickly, trying to push through her opponent's strikes, Yumie would release her opponent from the squeeze so her hands could quickly slide down, grabbing the woman's legs and lifting her up before taking a step forward and throwing her weight forward, slamming Laura down with a spine buster before using her grip on the woman's legs to roll her up, going for the pin!
