Yukiko Kuzuryuu vs. Chelsea Loski

For better or for worse, Chelsea just focused on applying pressure than trying to prevent Yukiko's advance. After a few painstaking seconds, the blue-haired brawler finally reached the edge and grabbed the bottom rope, causing the ref to call for a rope break.

Chelsea held on for as long as necessary until Yukiko reached the ropes and she let go immediately, she could have gone longer but it was better not too. Chelsea backed away and admired her work, having done quite a deal to the blue haired champ she knew that if she stayed on her she could win this thing.

"Hope your ready Yukiko." Chelsea said as she waited for her opponent to get to her feet and went for a roundhouse kick to keep the pressure on her.

Yukiko breathed out a sigh of relief as Chelsea let go. With a groan, she quickly began to use the ropes to climb back upright. Her spine ached a bit, but it was not anything worse than what she was used to.

"Give me your best shot." Yukiko smirked in response, re-assuming her fighting stance. Chelsea came up and threw a roundhouse, but the blue-haired girl was ready for her. She grunted as the leg struck her side, but her arms quickly wrapped around it, trapping Chelsea leg within her grasp.

"Got ya!" she proclaimed, right before trying to kick Chelsea's other leg out from underneath her and take her down to the canvas.

Chelsea came in as swift as she could to try and keep Yukiko down, it would be a mistake otherwise. No matter how confident tou are in your control you don't let up till the fights over, hats what she learned and was looking to keep up as she went for her kick..

Yukiko proved a bit faster however and Chelsea looked on surprised as her foot was caught in her trap. Before she could even think of a strategy Yukiko kicked her other leg out from under her. "Gahh!" Chelsea hit the Matt hard headfirst and brought her hands to comfort it, her leg still dangling in Yukiko's arms.

Yukiko successfully pulled off her counter attack, finally shifting the match back in her favor. The blue-haired girl was normally just a striker, however lately she'd learned a few submission holds from Akiko and incidentally Chelsea was in a pretty ideal position.

Using the redhead's own leg to flip her over onto her belly, Yukiko knelt down on one knee and wrenched down on Chelsea's foot, intending to trap her with an ankle lock.

Chelsea tried to pull her foot away and get to her feet again, but Yukiko held on tight and began to turn her over. Chelsea was quickly turned over to her bellydespite her efforts to resist and suddenly Yukiko was applying pressure in an ankle lock.

"Grrgh!" Chelsea moaned as her ankle was was twisted at an awkward angle to cause a great deal of pain. Ch got on her hands and began working on a way to get away, crawling towards the ropes to get a rope break.

Yukiko continued to wrench down on Chelsea's foot, although she was still unsure if she was hitting to right point to maximize its effectiveness. Either way, it was still doing its job, given the redhead's reaction.

Fortunately for Chelsea, the ropes weren't very far. Yukiko tried to apply as much force as she could, but would let go right before her foe grabbed on to the ropes. With the ref not needing to butt in, there was ample free space for Yukiko to spring up to her feet and attempt to stomp down on Chelsea's back.

Chelsea moved as fast as she could trying to fight against the hold as she neared the ropes. The hold wasn't the worst ankle lock she'd been in but it hurt enough and she stuck her hand out before finally getting the ropes to bring a rope break of her own.

Chelsea felt Yukiko let go and took a second to bring her foot up and check to make sure no lasting damage was done to her leg. But her efforts were put to a stop as Yukiko dipped her foot on her back. Chelsea yelped in pain as she turned to her back and arched it it in pain.

Back on the offensive for real now, Yukiko followed through by bending over and grabbing Chelsea by the arm. Attempting to lift the redhead up and out a bit, the blue-haired girl would then Irish whip her towards the nearest corner. If that was successful, Yukiko would then charge right after her and try to shoulder check Chelsea against the corner.

Yukiko wasn't about to let her rest for one minute now that she had her down. Grabbing her arm she harshly yanked her up to her feet and threw her in the corner with an Irish whip. Chelsea is able to turn her body so that her back hits the corner rather then her chest and her back collides with he corner with a thud.

Before Chelsea has any time to move Yukiko is on her again with a shoulder check, burying her shoulder into her gut. "Haggh!" Chelsea choked out as her body folds over on top of Yukiko's back, effectively pinned between her and the corner.
