SLAMpeg 3398: Amanda Rodriguez vs Ivelisse

Wrestling matches that utilize a lot of matwork tend to be more methodical and slower-paced. If you’re among those who believe there’s no such thing as a fast-paced match with a lot of matwork, you’re in for a revelation in this 1 fall match.

Amanda opens with a leg sweep takedown, but Ivelisse immediately counters with a leglock and a takedown of her own that she turns into a Surfboard. The two trade speedy escapes, smart reversals, and numerous near falls, all while maintaining a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it pace throughout the bout.

After numerous exchanges of armbars, Headlocks, and 2 counts, Ivelisse locks on a reverse Dragon Sleeper on the mat. Amanda escapes with a knee to the head. The two again trade shots and submissions before one wrestler finds a creative way to tie up her opponent in a Sharpshooter and forces her to tap out in this hard-fought, highly entertaining bout.
