SLAMpeg 1825: Mia Yim vs Shantelle Taylor

Daffney wears the stripes here-and she also wears shoes, which makes her the odd one out. Shantelle and Mia are rocking the socks for this friendly match. Before the opening bell, the ladies spend a few minutes chatting in the ring, giving us a rarely seen moment of downtime before the action begins.

When the match starts, it soon becomes clear that submissions are the order of the day. Anklelocks, toeholds, Figure Four Leglocks, Surfboards and more are exchanged in a back and forth battle. Daffney maintains order when needed, but the match is fought in good spirits.

Ironically, for a match so heavy with submission holds, it’s a 3 count pin that scores the win–but there is nothing simple about it as a seesaw battle sees both women’s shoulders on the mat in quick succession until one wrestler is able to hold her opponent down for the vital third count! A post-match friendly hug ends this sporting contest.
