Emotional Investment and Competitive Matches

Agreed, I think Blair was jealous of Irish, as well. One fight I hope too oneday watch~

Irish got Blair with an armbar and it looked like it turned her on when Blair gave up.

I don't know if Irish was actually turned on after she got that submission, or just putting on a sexy show for the camera. Knowing the way females are with the body language, it could even have been a bit of none-verbal trash talk aimed at Blair .... "I could have broken your arm then if I'd wanted, and look at me, I'm sexier than you will ever be."

She did look really proud of herself after she got it, and she had every right to be so. It was one of the best moves you will ever see from an untrained girl in a real fight.

I've talked about this match before - EastCoast's Michelle Burdick (Sayde) versus Kyla Lucianao (who just recently passed away I read). Burdick is an incredibly well-built FBB, no wrestling skills and a brawler, Luciana is an accomplished grappler. Kyla wins several submissions with triangle chokes - no way Burdick saw them coming nor could defend. Burdick gets an submission almsot knocking kyla out with a brutish forearm across the throat, all the while trashtalking. Kyla wins the last falls with an incredible bodyscissors, screaming as she applies more and more pressure.
