SLAMpeg 3365: Brandi Wine vs Malia Hosaka

Brandi Wine and Malia Hosaka--two of the original members of the roster--face off in this back and forth contest that features all the wanton display of skill you'd expect from a pair of seasoned veterans. The proceedings kick off with some playful verbal jousting and a bit of faux-martial arts posturing but we're soon down to brass tacks as Malia fakes Brandi out on a test of strength and has her gasping from a pair of vicious kicks.

What follows is a beautifully executed technical sequence as Brandi fights back and takes Malia to the mat with armbars, chokes and neckscissors among other moves. Referee Rain can't help but be impressed at the sheer breadth of styles displayed here, from brawling-type blows and underhanded chokes to clever reversals and excruciating submissions.

We see all manner of scissorholds suffered by both women and it's the expert application of one such combination Waistscissors/Sleeperhold that gets the hard-won victory for one athlete.
