The lights shine down onto the canvas of the cage. Two women, three rounds, one winner. That's how it always goes. Katya 'The Mauler' Lomachenko steps into the octagon with her usual cool expression, seemingly unfazed by the pressure that would make even veteran fighters nervous. What happens when an opponent underestimates her ground game? Sometimes the most dangerous predators appear calm before striking.The lights shine down onto the canvas of the cage. Two women, three rounds, one winner. The usual. He watched from cage side. He looked at Katya's usual cool expression, how she did it - he didn't know; even he had jitters. The air horn sounded for the first round and Katya immediately took the centre of the cage. She pointed down to the ground beneath her, a gesture for her opponent to bring the pain.
As the opponent tried to close the distance she threw a one-two combination, just as she went for a powerful over hand - her opponent shot for a double leg takedown. Katya was lifted into the air and slammed down on her neck. A loud cheer erupted from the audience, deafening ears. Katya grunted, but otherwise looked unfazed. She rolled her opponent into side control and grabbed a kimura armlock. The air horn rang, the fight was over. Katya's opponent has tapped. What looked like a bad hand was turned into a swift victory.
"The winner, by submission in the second minute of the first round, Katya 'The Mauler' Lomachenko" echoed around the arena. He and the rest of the corner were cleared to enter the cage. Katya had an almost bored expression painting her face. "American wrestling, boring," she nodded to the other fighter. "I break you, not other way around." Katya gestured for water as she took her gloves off. "You say she is threat on the standing... I guess we'll never know."
