If there were any doubts in Kate's mind if she was too harsh on the girl in front of her, the continued threats and insults quickly wore down that doubt. Attitude adjustment came in many forms. It seemed that this time, humbling was in order, and she would be quick to deliver as her opponent went for the same move again. Kate did not stay still, turning her body as the strike came to avoid it, so when Raya reached for her head, she was fully prepared.

Instead of allowing the woman a chance for a headlock, Kate would reach behind Raya's own neck, letting her head come down just enough to have the top of it press against the woman's jaw, pushing to the side to crank her neck in a proper Muay Thai clinch! And as was tradition in such a stance, she would throw a knee strike at the woman's midsection, then again, and again, each time putting more effort in to maximize on wearing out her opponent's body before taking a step back, still holding the woman's neck before jumping up, pulling her forward and raising her knees to her face in an atempt to make her fall stright onto them in a lung blower!

As Raya tried to go for the headlock, she felt her neck being grabbed and her jaw pushed against Kate's head as her neck was cranked in a Muay Thai clinch, and to make things worse she'd be the victim of a flurry of knee strikes by her opponent, aimed right at her midsection multiple times.

"Aghh!" She cried out in pain after every blow, gasping heavily for air and struggling to make sense of her surroundings as her vision was now blurry, then suddenly she was pushed down right into Kate's knee as her opponent jumped up and connected it straight on Raya's face, causing her to tumble right onto the mat, groaning in pain and grabbing her face with her hands as she whimpered fearfully, leaving her completely open and ripe for the taking!

Hearing her opponent whimper made a shiver run down Kate's spine. This didn't feel right. She was a fighter, she took matches to compete, and while she knew some people were simply going for the paycheck or just straight up new to the business and did not yet handle themselves well between the ropes, she could respect the drive. Raya, though, struck a strange chord between her behaviour and the reactions she gave to being hit. Kate never wanted to pity a person she was fighting. Showing up in the ring was enough for someone to earn at least a bit of respect from her, but this, this just felt wrong.

She was pretty sure that the other woman would still have enough in her too kick out, hard as she seem to take each move, the match only just started but she'd try to give the woman an out of this situation by going over to her and laying across her chest with one leg hooked up for a pin though she wasn't sure she was even reading her opponent corectly, she did not want hurt the woman too bad either physicaly or emotionally but if she persisted she'd not be going easy on her.

As she felt Kate start to pin her, Raya would quickly kick out and roll over to the side, still clutching her face but now she was able to get back up on her feet as the pain was beginning to subside. She'd never before taken so much punishment, but now that she was experiencing it she was starting to panic internally, but still she tried not to let it show on her face and would continue to fight.

She waited for her opponent to rise up, and when she did, Raya would rush at her again and would attempt to slam Kate into the mat with a clothesline!
