Fight Night

Mesmerising

I'm currently in my dressing room prepping for my fight tonight against Diana Belbita. I hear a knock on my door, "come in" I call out. Andreas walks in with a smile on his face "that's you ready to go Patri" he gave me a hug, "Go out there a show the world what you're made of" I take a deep breath before heading towards the entrance tunnel.

*Good evening ladies and gentlemen you sure are in for a great night of entertainment as we get ready to watch Patri Dynamite Munez take on Diana the Black Death Belbita in tonight's amazing undercard*

*over in the red corner Weighing In at 123.4lbs Diana the Black Death Belbitaaa*

Her entrance music played and I watched her show off whilst heading towards the octagon from the other side of the venue on one of the the big screens. I took a deep breath. This was it no more waiting.

*And here in the blue corner Weighing In at a staggering 124.6lbs Patri Dynamite Munezzzz*

My entrance music started to play and I jogged out towards the octagon hyping the crowd up on my way there. Hopping up and climbing over the cage I jumped into the ring and stood in my corner.

"You got this Patri, remember what we went over in training" Tony called out. I walked over so I was a mere foot or so away from them the cage was the only thing separating us. "Show them what your made of kid prove all the critics wrong" Andreas said.

I was about to turn around and get ready for the fight to begin when I heard a soft voice say "good luck out there Patri I believe in you".
I turn around and smile "let's hope your my new good luck charm" I joked back causing her to give off a light blush and laugh.

"Alright ladies" The referee called us in "let's have a good clean fight come in and touch gloves when the bell goes good luck" the ref backs away to give us space in the middle.
The bell rings and the fight starts.

I side step into the centre of the cage and hold my arm out to touch gloves, Belbita glares at me as they make contact and I retreat back and into my starting stance.

*Commentators pov*

"Oh boy are we in for a good time tonight Jimmy" "You know Michael I think it's going to be a straight breeze for Munez, I don't think Belbita stands a chance"

"I don't know Jimmy I don't think it's going to be as easygoing as you think, Belbita has vastly improved since her last fight a few months ago which she lost against the Scottish native Joanne Calderwood"

"That's a fair point you have made there but I personally think that Munez has got this in the bag" "I guess were just going to have to wait and see how this one plays out"

*Patris pov*

Belbita edges towards me sending a glare my way, probably to try and throw me off. I focus on her stance and posture trying to read what move she'll start off with.

A left hook is thrown my way, I guard the side of my head and and quickly dodge her fist before it could connect. While she's in a vulnerable position trying to recover from her punch attempt I quickly get a solid leg kick in to weaken her strong side.

I hit her with a body kick but the connection wasn't great, Belbita grabs my leg and try's to pull me to the ground. "God dammit Patri she's a wrestler for gods sake we went over this don't let her take you down" I heard Tony call out.
I am in a dangerous place right now I can't let this happen or I'm bound to lose.

I hop along as she pulls me across the canvas towards the opposite side of the octagon. How I pulled that off I could not tell you. I got her backed into the cage before kneeing her in the side a few times.

I back off after getting some good body shots in lowering her stamina. We're now back in the centre of the octagon, Belbita lunges towards me hitting me with a hard straight punch right under my right eye splitting a small cut open.

I wipe my face to try clear it up but it's no use as drops of blood drip onto the canvas below me. I get into a close proximity before throwing a quick 1,2 punch combination the first mediocre jab connecting to the left side of her face and the second swiftly making contact with her hand/wrist that came to guard her head.

Belbeita lunged forward tackling me to the ground "Get back on your feet Patri we went over this don't forget what I told you" Tony yelled again seemingly frustrated with how I was performing at the moment. God dammit Patri it's like your trying to fucking lose. She straddles me and pins me to the ground before flipping us round so she was on her back, legs wrapped around my torso and the rest of my lower body.

Diana clinched her arms around my neck positioning me into a guillotine choke to try and submit me or to get a tap out. The air was quickly being sucked out of my lungs and due to the lack of circulation of my blood it began to make my head feel so light yet so heavy.

I start clawing away at her arms trying to pry them away from my neck to form some sort of gap to regain access to my airways I took another few deep breaths before her hold tightened around me once again. At this point my face felt on fire and the veins in my forehead were destined to explode at any minute.

Until the bell rang.

Saving my helpless ass before I was seconds away from being left out cold.

She lets go and I'm left in the same spot that I was once struggling in moments ago gasping for air like my life depended on it. Technically my life did depend on it. I stumble over to my corner and slump into the stool that was put in its regular place. I reach into my mouth and take my guard out before gulping a few mouthfuls of water to try ease the burning sensation building up in the back of my throat.

Aspen rushes over smearing a large clump of Vaseline over the cut under my eye to stop the bleeding which didn't seem to stop the whole round before wiping away the excess that covered nothing but untouched skin. "You've sustained a major blow to the head I'll need to thoroughly assess you for a concussion when you finish" Aspen declared. I close my mouth and take a few deep breaths through my nose whilst nodding my head letting her know I acknowledged what she had just said.

"Patri DO NOT let her take you down like that or you are done for, take your time get your hits in and stay on your feet for as long as you possibly can and the win is yours" Tony instructs. "Your showing too much on your left hand side that's how she was able to find the opening to get you right under the eye, stay as balanced as you can and don't be favourable to one side" Andreas chimes in.

I close my eyes for a brief moment before opening them up again to meet Aspens hand holding out a damp towel from the ice cooler. I take it from her and give a small smile in return to let her know I was thankful and wrap it around the back of my neck and upper back/shoulders to try cool down.

I already felt defeated.

We were called back in for the second round Diana goes straight in for the takedown again as she knows that's her best way of winning. She doesn't bring me to the ground on impact and I knee her in the face sending her straight back and onto the ground.

The referee intervenes and calls it to an end. I'm shocked to say the least that was quite quick and unexpected. Within seconds Aspens hands are clung to either side of my face as she celebrates with me. "You just did that" she exclaimed with more excitement than I was feeling at that moment.

I laugh and smiled "I somehow did". I didn't hit her that hard but then again a knee to the head hitting just the right spot could knock anybody out fighter or not. "Patri cool and calmly delivers the win" Andreas wraps his arm around my shoulders and gives me a side hug that was joined with a light shake.

I couldn't help but smile, it may not have been my best fight it was quite scrappy and I wasn't on my A-game but a win is a win I guess. Tony hugs me "you had me on the edge of my seat that entire time, but at least I now know what we need to work on in future sessions".
