Number of Fights: 1

Tactics: Punching and kicking to the body only (saw a knee and a few elbows as well) 

Review: 

Round 1: 
This is a very difficult round to score. Both fighters land many hard punches to the belly and boobs. They also kick mostly to the legs, but also to the tummy. Kat lands a good short knee as well. These women know how to punch and kick and they do not hold back.

Round 2: 
There are more kicks to the belly in this round and they seem to have even more snap than the kicks during the first round. Kat probably lands the better kicks, while Sammie lands the better punches, including about ten to Kat's kidneys. When they tie up in the corner, Kat throws a few nice elbows.

Round 3: 
Kat starts the round fast, with a few nice punches, but Sammie comes back with good kicks to Kat's thigh. Both women are clearly hurting, but neither slows down, except for a short breather in the middle of the round. One fighter lands a hard kick followed by a volley of punches to the tummy. Her opponent goes down just before the end of the round and is unable to recover. 

Dislikes: 

I love stats and could not find any on the site. But that is probably just me. 

Likes: 
Where do I start. These women love to fight. There is a friendly, relaxed atmosphere before and after the fight, and even between rounds while Sammie chats to members of the audience. But the women are focused, and fighting with all they have during the rounds. They seem to have the typical martial arts respect for the sport and each other. The live audience adds to the atmosphere. If I have not said this before, Sammie is one of my favorite fighters. Win or lose, you know she always gives her all. This was a very close hard fought fight until the end. If it was not for the TKO, either of them could have won on points.

Review: 

Round 1: 

The smiles the women give each other almost convinced me they may not hurt each other. However, the hard kicks and punches as the round starts proves that friendliness before the fight does not necessarily take away from the intensity of the fight. After exchanging a few strikes, Styna gets Jer in a neck-hold and forces her down. They grapple, while exchanging hard punches to the body and slaps to the face. Jer traps Styna in leg scissors twice, clearly hurting her. After a short break to retrieve Styna's contact lens Styna lands some hard punches, but Jer retaliates with some good punches of her own. They get back to their feet, but immediately go down again. Shortly after this one fighter traps the other in a rear naked choke and gains the first submission.

The round continues with both women landing hard kicks, punches and slaps. Jer lands a good slap to Styna's face, forcing her to say 'Ow'.Styna once again gets Jer in a neck-hold and uses a beautiful hip toss to get her down. She maintains the neck hold and combines it with hair pulling until the end of the round.

Round 2: 

The rounds starts with mostly kicking with Styna landing some good side kicks to Jer's midriff. One of the women forces the other down and get her in a headlock. She cranks on the pressure and twists the other's neck , forcing her to give. As the loser of the fall has neck pain after this hold, the fight is stopped, allowing the fighters a few days to recover before the fight is continued.

Round 3: 

After a few days' rest, the round start fast with a few kicks before the women lock up. They struggle for control, while exchanging punches and knees to the body. One fighter eventually forces the other down and immediately starts to work on an Americana arm bend. Her opponent tries to defend against this with hair pulling and some punches, but she is forced to give as a result of the pain.

The round continues with solid kicks and an exchange of slaps to the face. The force of the slaps knocks one fighter's contact lens out. After a short break Styna forces Jer down with a headlock hip toss combination. She maintains the headlock for a while, while Jer applies leg scissors to her waist. Jer quickly transitions and applies an armbar. However, the end of the round saves Styna.

Round 4: 

After a few kicks, one fighter forces the other down and gets her back. She works until she gets a rear naked choke, forcing her opponent to give. The loser of the fall is frustrated and concedes the fight.

Dislikes: 

The fight is stopped early due to one women getting frustrated. Fights are unpredictable though and both women has given their all to this point. It may therefore be a bit harsh to blame her for not wanting to continue.

Like: 

I like the spirit in which the fight was fought, except perhaps for the end. Both women display good grappling skills, applying many holds on each other. The kicks, knees, punches and slaps/palm strikes are thrown with full force. Allowing hair pulling to what is otherwise MMA rules (without face punching and kicks), makes this closer to what one generally see in a female street fight. I doubt whether we will see hair pulling allowed in female UFC fights soon, but for me personally, I think it will be a positive move. 

These fighters give it their all and both take a lot of punishment during the fight. Thank you to both.

Title: FFV133 Kat vs Sammie MMA Kickboxing Live Event 3/15/2014 Set 4 

Fighters: Sammy vs Kat

Outfits: Gym wear, MMA gloves, bare feet

Price: $9.99

Duration video: 00:15:04

Duration actual fighting: Approximately 10 minutes including breaks

Number of fights: 1

Rules: MMA gloves kickboxing. Kicks and punches to body only. Breasts and crotches seem to be legal targets.

Review: 

Round 1: 

Both land punches and kicks, with Kat seeming to target Sammy's breasts. She also lands a few low kicks and punches to Sammy's crotch area. The round is pretty close.

Round 2: 

Kat starts the round fast and lands most of the strikes early in the round. However, Sammy comes back and lands some vicious strikes to Kat's body, including five or six punches to the kidneys (which also seems to be legal). Kat has a flurry at the end of the round. Once again a very close round.

Round 3: 

Kat starts fast again, but Sammy comes back almost immediately. The punches and kicks seem to be thrown with more venom and both fighters clearly hurt the other. A left kick, followed by a left hook to the solar plexus forces one woman to forfeit the fight on the bell ending the third round.

Dislikes: 

Not many. A second angle would have been nice in order to see punches and kicks better. Sammy allows Kat to recover a few times, not pressing when Kat is hurting.

Likes: 

This is a no thrills fight. Both women get down to business. The referee does not interfere with their fight much, possibly letting a few things go (low blows and kidney strikes). Although there seems to be bad blood between the women during the fight (based only on the force with which they strike each other), there is very good sportsmanship after the fight. This fight is somewhere between a catfight and a professional kickboxing match.
