Cancelled

Astrid has no idea what effect the Indian girl wanted to achieve. But now she was sure that she saw something in the eyes of the brunette that clearly indicated that she did not expect Golden Dragon to find the right words in order to regain the full support of the audience. Indeed, now the former MMA fighter was no longer about to speak, so when her rival beckoned to her, she only grinned.

- Don't wake the Dragon, sweetheart, huh, - she said.

The girl took a step forward, and then put forward her right fist. Her rival did not even give her name, showing disrespect for Astrid, so she will not ask about it, despite the habit of knowing the name of the one she is going to beat. Perhaps she will ask about it at the end, if she finds it necessary. And yet Golden Dragon kept its part of etiquette. And since she had habits from the old league, she always offered not a handshake, but a clash of fists.

And if they did not have problems with this, then she would take two steps back. Now it was possible to start the match, because it was for this that she was here. She was sure that many in her place should experience excitement, and possibly irritation. Not every day you can meet a confident newcomer who not only accepts the challenge of a more experienced and famous fighter, but also tries to manipulate the public against her. However, now the Norwegian girl felt only one thing. The desire to fight. Without any bias. Maybe she didn’t know what her opponent was capable of, but that didn’t change anything. Because Golden Dragon always strives for the top.

The former MMA fighter intended to bounce several times on her toes in order to disperse blood through her body. She felt the gazes of thousands of people from all sides and everyone was interested in what would happen next. Those who came here for her already know how Astrid is tough and uncompromising, so now everything was especially interesting. After all, they also did not know what to expect from the Indian girl.

Astrid raised her hand to the level of her chin, taking up a universal boxing stance, after which she looked at the referee, making it clear that she was ready. Now it only remained to receive a signal of readiness from another girl. Golden Dragon was waiting for a call that would begin a new test for her. Despite the fact that not much time has passed since her last match, but she already managed to miss the incredible feeling that not everyone is able to share with her. Astrid focused. The match will begin now. And she is ready. She has a good feeling about this.

To the response of Arjuna, the long-haired blonde merely smirked. There was some truth in these words. As in her own. The real Golden Dragon wakes up rarely enough because the Norwegian girl’s own strength is usually enough. But if this match is as loud as the words already spoken, then the audience will again be able to see and feel what Astrid is hiding inside.

After a clash of fists, the girls took up their fighting stances. Each of them was ready, Astrid took a deep breath. It was very clear to her that the girl standing in front of her wanted to prove herself. And she had no reason to refuse her that. If she wants to prove her strength, then Golden Dragon will accept this challenge. A wave of a striped shirt gave rise to this match. Astrid's heart was in anticipation. If this girl is strong enough, then the evening will be interesting. But now...  Golden Dragon was determined to show why she is not afraid of anything. Any words must be proven. And she knew that she had enough strength to prove her words.

Ding-Ding-Ding.

Astrid's eyes narrowed as the Indian girl moved forward. Astrid had no idea how well her rival was aware of the skills of the former MMA fighter. In addition, the blonde herself could not say anything about the skills of her rival. Haste would not lead to anything good, everything has its time. But so far, it did not seem that Arjuna was about to attack directly. Well, in this case, the blonde was not going to give up the opportunity to experience the one who accepted her call. The girls' hands lay on the napes and elbows of each other. Now each of them fought for an advantage. Even taking into account her strength, the Golden Dragon felt powerful pressure, which made her grin. She liked it when her opponent had enough strength.

However, she did not intend to take even one step back. The Norwegian girl strained her arms and legs, and then began to put pressure on the Indian girl, gradually increasing power. There was confidence in her eyes, and that confidence moved her forward. If she managed to push her opponent back, gaining an advantage, then she would use more of her strength to push Arjun's body directly into the corner of the ring! And in this case, Golden Dragon would not give her time to take a break, because if the brunette faced the corner, then Astrid would follow her, picking up speed and putting her right hand to the side, to crush Arjuna using the corner clothesline!

Only recently she began to care about such a thing as rating. In those days when she smashed faces in MMA, fame was not her priority. She had fans, she had haters. She always knew how to do shows, however, before, only the result was important for her. This is not to say that too much has changed now. However, now the Norwegian girl was not always concerned about the result. No, of course, she always does everything possible to get to the top.

And yet, over time, she realized that the ultimate goal is not always important, but the path to that goal is always important. And when she first entered the AFW ring, she felt all the support from the audience that they gave her. And since then, Astrid has decided that she will do everything possible not only so that her path can be called great, but also so that the people who look at her are proud of their favorite.

That is why the long-haired girl did not take a single step back. Too much was at stake today, so now she had a goal. And this time this goal was important. Now her goal was to defeat the girl who accepted her challenge. Using her incredible power, the Golden Dragon pushed the Indian girl to the corner. And, taking advantage of this, the former MMA fighter did not hesitate to take all the air from her lungs from Arjuna. She even felt the body of her rival a bit limp.

That's right, the Norwegian girl was not going to spare her strength. She is always responsible for her words and today no one will have doubts about this. And the fact that the brunette was exactly where the Golden Dragon was needed made the girl smile. She took half a step back to take a short distance. Perhaps Arjuna did not know anything about Astrid's style, but now she has something to find out.

Because right now, the Norwegian girl, without losing a single second, intended to take advantage of the fact that her rival was pinned into a corner. Astrid's first martial art was boxing, her father, a multiple champion, made sure his daughter reached the pinnacle of mastery in this. The girl's arms tightened, and her eyes flashed.

Left hook to the right side of the torso. Left hook to the right cheek. Right cross to the left cheek. Left jab right to the chin. Right hook to the left side of the torso. Left uppercut to the solar plexus. And the left uppercut right to the chin. Right now, the mighty Golden Dragon intended to bring down all the power and speed of her attacks on her opponent. Each punch looked like a cannon salvo. She acted like a real professional, closing any escape routes not only with new blows, but also with her body. It might have seemed that she wanted to crush her rival, and there was some truth in this, because the onslaught of the Golden Dragon was furious and inevitable!

Astrid did not like to evaluate herself from the outside. But even she knew that her character was always quite two-sided. She was an extremely proud girl, but at the same time she never threw words to the wind. She could always prove her every word. And if she openly says that she is ready to kick any ass that gets in her way, she will do whatever is necessary for this. The Golden Dragon never needed anyone, she was always alone, a dragon with the habits of a lone wolf. But at the same time, she has always loved the attention of fans who admire her. Therefore, now that not only victory in the match was at stake, but also the love of the fans, she saw no reason to hold back.

Boxing was the main foundation of her style. Thanks to her father, who was a multiple champion, she honed her boxing skills, if not to perfection, then to a fairly high professional level. The Norwegian girl was confident in her every blow, because she knew that if one blow did not reach the target, the next blow would be even more dangerous for her opponent. And now she used all her knowledge and skills in order to make it clear to her rival that she should not hope that the long-haired blonde will give her victory and her fans.

Arjuna tried to close herself off from Astrid's punches, but this only provoked the former MMA fighter, who used unsuccessful punches to open up space for the next. And when, after two uppercuts, the Indian girl fell to her knees, the eyes of the Golden Dragon narrowed. Today she was determined to teach her rival a lesson. And not only to her. Today everyone will understand that she is always ready to answer for her every word. That she is ready to meet any obstacle in her path. And that she is ready to overcome each of these obstacles. This is her life path. This is Astrid.

It did not take long for her to continue her onslaught. Many considered her to be nothing more than a striker, but each of them was wrong. Punches were her most dangerous weapon, but that was only part of Astrid's skills. Now she was going to pass her hands under Arjuna's arms and join her palms in the lock, fixing a double underhook hold. An Indian girl herself came to this corner. Perhaps she already realized that it was a mistake. But now the Golden Dragon was about to reinforce that statement.

- RRRRAAAAWWWW!!! - she growled.

Maybe it was theatrical, but she never liked to contain her emotions. The Norwegian girl intended to jump up and put her feet on the lower ropes in order to use them as a springboard. These ropes were supposed to allow her to jump higher and then she would direct her opponent's head down. Now she was intent on landing on her ass and at the same time pushing Arjuna hard against the canvas with the springboard double underhook sitout facebuster!

Almost no one heard the loud clap at the moment when Arjuna's face collided with the mat. This clap was drowned out by the deafening cry of the Indian girl. As soon as Astrid let go of her rival's hands, she began to lull her face, while the long-haired blonde rose to her feet. Usually she was not in the habit of playing with the audience, however, this day was an exception to the rule. Only for a second, but the Norwegian girl raised her fist above her head, silently reminding that she was here not only because she could speak loud words. She was here because she could prove every word she said.

The Golden Dragon took a step forward in order to grab the ankles of the Indian princess. Right now, the former MMA fighter was determined to drag Arjuna to the center of the ring. She didn’t want such a trifle as ropes to get in her way. The first time she used this move, she almost broke her rival, and it was only the willpower shown by Mari Fuuma, who refused to surrender, forced the Golden Dragon to let her go. Well, in a sense, it was a chance for her rival. Astrid intended to step on Arjuna's hips with both feet, then grab her ankles and lock them behind own knees.

So far, the long-haired blonde perceived her rival only as a person with great ambitions. It won't be big news if we say that every second person here had big ambitions. Everyone wanted to be popular, everyone wanted to get the love of their fans, everyone wanted to lift their belt over their heads. And while many might say that everyone has vanity in one way or another, the Golden Dragon had a different point of view on this matter. You can have incredibly large ambitions, but in this case, you simply have to be ready to do everything to achieve these ambitions. I want and I can do these two fundamentally unrelated things. Arjuna wanted popularity. Today she wanted to take the love of the public that Astrid deserved with blood and sweat. Well. The Norwegian girl bent down and grabbed the wrists of her rival.

“Let's see if you have anything other than ambition, huh,” Astrid would say.

She never liked to give advice and never wanted to teach life to anyone. However, Arduna accepted her challenge and raised the bets to a very high level. Well, the bet was accepted. And now Astrid was really determined to teach her rival a lesson. If you have ambition, get ready to fight for it! The Golden Dragon was going to lean back and roll onto her back, lifting Arjuna into the air, folding her shoulder blades and stretching her legs with the help of the surfboard or, as they also called it, the romero special!!!
