SLAMpeg 3533: Kiera Hogan vs Mia Yim

Referee Chasyn explains the special stipulation, submissions only, but only within a 5 count, otherwise the hold has to be broken. Mia insists the “Girl on Fire” be checked but much to her chagrin Chasyn checks her first, then “finds” a list of moves in Kiera’s boot that she wanted to use in the match, maybe trying to motivate Mia? An opening handshake goes about as well as you’d expect and away they go.

Mia complains about the refs first 5 count being too fast, even so Kiera won’t tap to her Camel Clutch and she has to break at 5. But soon Mia has a plan and after her next submission, a Surfboard doesn’t get the job done she transitions into a Sleeper, then a hair-assisted Surfboard followed by seated bodyscissors! The Ref’s bias comes into question as Mia “breaks” the bodyscissors by rolling Hogan around until she’s seated again for another 5 count, round and round they go, Mia pleased with her exploit and Kiera just getting dizzy, but she probably would have preferred another roll around the ring to the Lotus Lock Yim locks in instead, then she gets the roll around the ring anyways!

Mia has another trick up her sleeve, submissions to illegal holds still count within the 5 count, so Kiera has to endure chokes and hairpulling on top of Mia’s impressive array of submissions including a nasty anklelock! It’s hard to say which is more impressive, Mia transitioning from a Boston Crab, to alternating single-leg Crabs, and a Deathlock or Kiera refusing to tap to all of them!

Hogan takes a verbal shot at the execution Mia’s elevated Bow & Arrow enraging Yim, but is she playing with fire or will Mia get burned by the spunky youngster in the end?
