SLAMpeg 3030: Marti Belle vs Nicole Matthews

It's a Tennessee Death Match – a 30 minute affair in which Nicole must break a submission hold when referee April Hunter counts to 5. Anything else Nicole does is permitted. If Marti can last 30 minutes, she will be declared the winner.

Marti’s odds of enduring the half hour seem bleak at first. Nicole maintains the offense throughout most of the match, taking Marti to the mat early, working her over in the corner, and slapping on submission holds such as Stepover Toeholds, a bridging leglock, double Chickenwings, Camel Clutches, and over-the-knee Backbreakers.

And since everything else is legal, Nicole sprinkles in a few rope chokes and foot chokes, and tosses Marti from the ring to work her over on the floor and slam her into the walls.

As the match wears on, Nicole cranks up the heat with one-legged Boston Crabs, a bridging Hammerlock, and a Figure Four, the referee’s 5 counts become noticeably slower. Can Marti outlast both Nicole and April for a full 30 minutes?
