Title Match: Masane Tajiri vs. Sarah Gatt.

Masane spared no commentary on what just happened, and instead leapt towards her as Sarah staggered back, and tried for a hard right aimed for her head, then another hard right to try and fake her out before trying to finish off her combo by trying to grab her by the head and throw a hard knee up into her gut.

"Hah! Yah! HRAH!!"

Sarah was still holding her jaw when Masane came at her. But underneath her hand she wore a malicious smile. When Masane's punch came at her, Sarah's hand on her jaw would quickly shot up and grab it before it could connect. It was pretty easy to determine how Masane fought by her outfit, which practically screamed 'I use karate'. Sarah would know to look for strikes such as this.

When she caught her punch Sarah would immediately pull her in, driving her forehead into Masane's face for a headbutt.

Masane was surprised Sarah managed to catch her first blow as she was clutching her jaw. Getting caught off guard, she got nailed in the face with the headbutt, but she leaned her head back to try and reduce the impact of the blow. It was still enough to send her staggering back however. It was the price she'd pay for underestimating her opponent. She quickly resumed her stance, putting her guard up quickly for a possible follow-up attack.

Sarah chuckled lightly after Masane backed off, staying where she was once the girl resumed her stance. "Well that was pathetic," she said, cracking her neck from side to side. "Don't cramp my style here. I want a fight, not a dance." She grinned maliciously, and raised her hand to motion her on.

Masane didn't let her words get to her. Instead she starts to shuffle in again, and throws a hard right.. feint! She'll then quickly drop down to try and trick her into thinking she's going to do a leg sweep and instead will kick straight back up into Sarah's jaw that she already hurt pretty badly to begin with.

Sarah's smile never seemed to leave her face, keeping her eyes on Masane as she moved about. When she saw a punch coming she would hop backwards to avoid it, not reliesing it was a fake. This would end up saving her, as the high kick would miss her, just barely grazing her chin. Sarah blinked, but decided to roll with it. "Gotta be faster than that!" Sarah continued to laugh.

Masane smirked a little, rising slowly to her feet. "If you think childhood taunts are going to irk me into tripping over my own feet, you are mistaken." She replied calmly, shifting back into her stance. She could be a very patient girl when she wanted to be. Her opponent on the other hand... she seriously doubted it. She would keep Sarah down at her pace to annoy her and maybe trick her into making a mistake. She got that knee off right at the beginning, so it shouldn't be too hard, right?

"Oh, don't say that," Sarah chuckled, ready herself for an attack. "You might ruin my fun. Besides, I trust you to screw up all on your own." Sarah would rush at Masane this time, looking to nail the karate girl in the face. This was just a feint, however, and Sarah's real attack would be a swift kick to Masane's crotch.

Masane watched as she ran in again, and leaned back from the feint. She then saw the leg coming up from below and tried to twist out of the way in order to counter with a fierce backfist to the back of Sarah's head. "HYAH!"

"GAHH!!" Sarah grunted. Masane's backfist struck against the back of her head hard. It rattled her senses some, but she could still see Masane before her. With a snarl, Sarah would suddenly spin on Masane, clamping her hand around her throat, digging her nails into the flesh. She would then brutally chokeslam her into the mat.
