Isa Kubota (Debut) vs Tuya Radna

Instinct drove Isa to her feet more then anything else. Her head ached and the side of her face hurt like hell... but she had enough awareness to know a match was going on, and that meant she had to force herself to her feet. She had to be in position to defend herself.

Using the ropes and leaning back against the turnbuckle, she scrambled to her feet, and realized something else as well. Tuya was limping around the ring, trying to walk off the pain in her knee. It was a weakness Isa knew she had to exploit.

Forcing her feet to move, Isa rushed forward on shaky legs and dove towards the Mongolian's legs, looking to execute a chop block and slam her shoulder into Tuya's hurt knee as she fell.

Tuya knew she had to try and attack her opponent but at the moment was trying to rub the pain away in her knee while she hoped around in the ring staring at Isa. As while the Mongolian woman was hopping around she saw her opponent was making it back to her feet and knew that if the Japanese girl was smart she would start to target the knee as it was what she would do if the roles were reversed.

And it seemed that she had guessed correctly what her opponent would do as she was taken down as Isa dove for her legs and knocked her down on the canvas. This was followed up by a chop block as she would feel Isa's shoulder would slam into her knee causing the green haired woman to scream in pain.

Isa was faster getting to her feet this time. Part of it was adrenaline making the pain a bit easier to deal with and some of the dizziness backing off. Beyond that, the Japanese woman had found a vulnerability in her opponent, Tuya's knee, and Isa was going after it.

Upon standing, Isa grabbed for the leg with the hurt knee. The first thing she'd do is make sure Tuya was laying face down on the mat, rolling the Mongolian wrestler over if necessary.

If she got that far, Isa would lift Tuya's hurt leg up and off the mat by the ankle... and the slam her knee down to the mat as hard as she could!

Screaming in pain while rolling left and right as she holds her knee after it got targeted with a chop block just a moment again while seeing Isa make it back to her feet. As the Japanese girl grasp her leg she would try to force her opponent to release it right away by using her other leg to land a kick to her opponent's knee.

If this did not work then Isa would succeed in forcing the green haired girl to lay down face first before hearing the Mongolian woman scream even louder then before after her opponent slammed her knee down on the canvas.

Isa was wary of those defensive kicks, she'd done much the same in a similar situation. It took some real effort,  struggling to maintain her grip on one leg while avoiding kicks from the other. Tuya nearly struck her a few times, but Isa managed to avoid the worst of it by constantly moving. Through it all, she wore a very slight smile, actively enjoying the fight against a worthy opponent. 

Eventually she wrestled the Mongolian woman onto her belly and *slammed* her knee into the canvas. 

Tuya's scream of pain was satisfying,  but Isa didn't waste time taunting. 

Still holding on to Tuya's ankle, Isa moved to lower herself to the mat, wrapping her own legs around Tuya's captive one to trap it. From. There, Isa would attempt to lock in a knee-bar submission hold, pulling Tuya's ankle down and forcing the knee to hyperextend, putting intense strain on the already hurt joint.

Tuya was on her back holding her knee after getting it slammed onto the canvas as Isa was quick enough to take advantage of the situation and the Mongolian woman could only blame herself for being careless. Even so it seemed that Isa was not going to take any chances as she would grasp the green haired girl's ankle and wrap her own legs around it as Tuya screamed in pain as a result.

The pain she was feeling right now was almost to much as she heard some in the crowd start to clap as the Japanese girl had her trapped in a knee bar putting even more strain on the already hurting joint. Seeing that the ropes were nearby the Mongolian would try to pull herself towards them as she extended her arms to grasp the canvas and pull herself forward.

With each inch she gained towards her goal Tuya would think to herself ''come on it only an inch more'' as she would extend her arms and repeat the process until she could touch the ropes with her fingertips and then try to grasp them causing a ropebreak.

Isa made her opponent work for every inch of progress. She grit her teeth, lips pulled back into an almost feral snarl as she increased the knee-bars pressure, as if she were actively trying to tear the ligaments in the Mongolian woman's knee! 

"I have you! Give up! Sub-mit!" A ting of desperation edged into her voice, realizing Tuya was close, so very close,  to grabbing the ropes! No! She couldn't let that happen! Unfortunately, the knee-bars submission hold occupied all of Isa's limbs. She had no way of pulling Tuya back to the middle of the ring. "Damn you! Just submit!" She demanded as Tuya strained to reach the ropes...

And then... Tuya Radna grabbed the bottom rope. 

This left Isa with a choice. The match was No Holds Barred, so she didn't technically have to release the hold, but even if Tuya submitted now, it wouldn't count now that she had the ropes. Isa considered trying to deliberately hurt Tuya's knee permanently by maintaining the knee-bar as long as possible... but decided against it. If nothing else,  Isa possessed a code of honor,  at least with people she respected. 

Isa broke the hold, slapping the mat in frustration before untangling herself feel Tuya and scooting backwards, gasping for breath from the exertion. "Was sure I had you that time."

Tuya had just grasped the ropes after dragging herself towards them for what seemed like an eternity to the Mongolian woman. So when the green haired woman had grasped the ropes in her hands she had expected that Isa would not release her any time soon and would wait until the referee started to count before realizing that it was a NHB match.

So it came to a surprise when Isa would actually release her and this caused Tuya to curse under her breath as the green haired woman knew she had to do the same if she did not want to appear honor less in the eyes of her opponent and herself. So after hearing Isa saying that the Japanese girl thought she had her Tuya could do nothing but agree with her opponent as she replied back ''thought so myself but it seems the will to win was enough to endure the pain so I could reach those ropes''.

Even after getting free from the knee bar it would not be easy for Tuya to make it back to her feet as Isa did do some damage to her knee after hadding it trapped in that hold for so long. So for now the Mongolian woman would just pull herself so she would be sitting upright while staring at her opponent for a minute and then try to attempt pull herself back onto her feet.

Isa stood with arms crossed beneath her breasts, her intense stare focused on Tuya as the Mongolian woman rose, allowing her opponent to try and make it to her feet. "You're going to fight on that knee? This is your last chance to submit and save yourself further pain. Otherwise, I'm just going to have to get 'creative'."

More then a hint of a threat could be heard in those casually spoken words. While Isa had come to respect Tuya, that wasn't going to save the other woman from whatever pain Isa planned to inflict. She would, however, give the girl a chance to make it to her feet.

Tuya would struggle to make it back to her feet as she knew the Japanese girl was likely to target her injured knee. And while the Mongolian wanted to do nothing more and try to walk it off she knew that if Isa got the chance to put in another knee bar or just land a devastating attack on it would result in the green haired woman losing the match.

''I know I'm likely insane but answer me this Isa. Would you give up if the roles were reversed as you strike me as the kind of fighter who would keep going until she was either knocked out or someone else decided to stop the match''. After making it back onto her feet the Mongolian would would try to place most of her weight on her good knee to try and lessen the strain she was putting on her likely injured knee.
