Sophie vs Mary (D) - From the bottom to the top?

The heavy thud of Sophie’s boot crashed squarely into Mary’s chest. The sheer force of the stomp knocked the wind right out of her, causing her to gasp as a sharp, blinding pain flared through her ribs.

Instead of curling up or trying to roll away to avoid the follow-up strike, Mary braced herself through the agony. As Sophie’s weight shifted forward to prepare the second stomp aimed directly at her face, Mary's survival instincts took over. Before the powerhouse could fully execute the next strike, Mary attempted to lunge upward with a desperate, explosive movement, trying to wrap both of her arms tightly around Sophie’s planting ankle and calf to lock the giant’s leg against her own wounded chest.

With a fierce determination, Mary tried to cling tightly to the limb, intending to use her full body weight as an anchor. Despite the stabbing pain in her right knee and ribs, she aggressively tried to twist her torso to one side whilst attempting to thrust her shoulder forward against Sophie’s shin. The aim was to unbalance Sophie, trying to drag the heavy wrestler down onto the mat with her.

Mary no longer intended to remain on the defensive. If she managed to force Sophie down to her level, she was ready to immediately launch a ruthless attack, primarily by trying to quickly get on top of her, and thus, once she had a hand on Sophie’s shoulder, to strike her face repeatedly from side to side and try to force her to block the blows, trapping her in that position.

Sophie's first stomp might have connected in the way she wanted it to, but that wasn't the case at all for the second. Not only did Mary lanage to grab her foot, she was able to force Sophie down to the canvas. In movements she'd moved on from her foot and was climbing on her body.

From there, she got one hand on her shoulder to pin her down, with Mary pounded away at Sophie's face with her free hand. At first she got away with this, getting a couple shots in, but it wouldn't be long before Sophie handed to get both of her forearms up to defend her face. Simultaneously, she lifted her legs up off the canvas in an attempt to wrap them around her opponent’s torso and squeeze as hard as she could. If that was successful, she'd attempt to grab Mary's arms to restrain her while she put pressure on her torso.

The pressure around her ribs was immediate. As Sophie’s powerful legs wrapped round her torso, Mary felt the tight grip that threatened to immobilise her, exerting immense pressure on her already bruised ribs. Sophie was trying to stop Mary’s attack, but she refused to allow herself to be completely immobilised.

Realising that Sophie was simultaneously raising her arms to grab Mary’s, Mary fought back aggressively against the hold. Instead of pulling away, she tried to shift her weight forwards, attempting to maintain a heavy, rigid stance to prevent Sophie from gaining a firm grip on her wrists

Rather than trying to escape, Mary would seek to bring her elbows down forcefully, attempting to drive them sharply into the insides of Sophie’s thighs. She tried to apply maximum crushing pressure with her joints, hoping that the sudden burst of localised pain would force the larger woman to loosen her tight grip on her legs.

If she managed to successfully break or weaken the grip around her waist, Mary was prepared to immediately step back far enough to gain the upper hand, hoping to land another powerful close-range punch or a forearm strike directly into Sophie’s high guard, leaving the ultimate success of her defence and follow-up strike entirely in the hands of her opponent’s reaction.
