SLAMpeg 2675: Malia Hosaka vs Rhia O'Reilly

Experienced, highly skilled veterans Malia and Rhia put on a clinic in this 1 fall match-up. Expert escapes, crafty reversals, and clever maneuvers fill this back-and-forth battle between the two.

Malia opens up with a Surfboard, Rear Naked Choke and Bow & Arrow hold. Rhia responds with a Stepover Toehold, a viciously painful-looking double Hammerlock and a Surfboard of her own. Malia attacks with Headbutts, hip tosses, and knee drops. Rhia fires back with a belly claw, fingerlocks, and multiple forearms and clubs to the back.

Malia applies a nerve pinch and adds a few throat thrusts to wear down Rhia. But Rhia won’t go down without a fight, locking on a bridging leglock/Chinlock and a leg scissors to keep Malia down on the mat.

These two pull out all the submission holds in the book and it’s a classic Camel Clutch that forces one wrestler to finally tap out and end this hard-fought, highly entertaining match-up.
