August 12, 2024,
They are emerging stars but we sense there is a clear cut favorite.
Goth Delilah and Mel Fire is an intriguing matchup.
When you look at Goth Delilah, she looks like a prototype MMA star. We tried to review one match with Goth and Bambi in 2022 and couldn’t finish the review because they giggled and played too much.
Hopefully today, things will be different.
Mel Fire continues to improve. She has mostly plied her trade in the fantasy realm, but in recent times, she has really taken her competitive wrestling more seriously.
Being at a public event, here in London, should make both of them take the match more seriously.
Having said all of that, what happens today is mostly up to the intensity and seriousness of Goth.
Time to go ringside.

The two girls go down to their knees.
They only spar for a moment before Mel quickly freezes up Goth in a frontal Guillotine Choke and semi-scissors her left leg as well. Great opening move. Now she needs to tighten it up. Goth responds by trying to move forward as Mel continues to tighten the choke.
Who will win the war of attrition?
The very skilled Goth does.
She breaks the hold and is now engaging Mel from the top position. They continue to struggle and inch towards the corner of the mat. Mel keeps a strong scissor on Goth’s left thigh while the dark haired brunette is trying to force an upper chest and neck advantage with Mel losing the battle to block her off with her arms.
Goth continues to press the advantage.
Mel continues to struggle underneath.
What previously appeared in hazy outline is starting to become clearer. Goth is really pressing the advantage from above and is relentlessly trying to break her left leg free from Mel’s scissor. If she is successful, she van effectively pursue a full mount. Mel must hold on to that scissor.
They struggle more.
Struggle is a relative word since Goth is on top and applying great pressure. Mel does manage to maintain the leg scissor and, as a result, Goth begins to focus on the beautiful girl’s head and neck area. Goth captures Mel’s right arm and maneuvers it into a form of a Triangle Choke and continues to apply the pressure.
They continue to struggle and Mel is under great duress as she tries to squirm away.
The gorgeous red head has now lost the scissor hold on Goth’s leg and, as a result, the raven haired athletic girl sits on Mel’s chest in a more authoritative position, possibly closing in on a submission. Mel manages to free her arm from the Triangle Choke but Goth simply captures it in an arm bar. The dark haired brunette then crosses her left leg over Mel’s shoulder creating a new a powerful threat. Once she pulls backwards on the arm bar and cranks, Mel has no choice but to tap out.
Nice MMA skills on display by Goth.
1-0 for Goth (8:13).
Goth is emerging as the more skilled wrestler. Give Mel Fire credit for keeping this one close. Staying in the fight with a superior wrestler for 8 minutes without a submission is something to be proud of. Stay away from moral victories, but perhaps view it as a sign of strong improvement.
The challenge now for Mel is to keep this close. Goth has figured out a sure weakness with the arm bar and is most likely to go there again.
They start again from their knees.
Delilah is aggressive and bull rushes Mel. She burrows and pushes her backwards. Normally against a higher skilled wrestler, this would be a mistake. Mel does what she should do in applying a one armed Guillotine Choke but she appears to lack both the skill and strength and Goth easily breaks it and emerges to the top position.
There is a mild struggle, and we say mild, because once again, Goth is starting to take control. She does what previously worked. She grabs Mel’s right arm for a potential arm bar but instead sits on top of Mel with a face sit. She is so comfortable and confident that she begins fix her hair.
A little bit of levity.
The athletic girl continues to sit atop Mel as she begins to plot her next submission strategy.
She makes a decision.
She begins to maneuver around the gorgeous redhead with her strong legs and achieves nirvana by trapping Mel’s head inside of a perfectly executed Triangle Choke.
Mel taps out.
The dominant warrior leads 2-0 (11:05).
Time to start.
This time Goth attacks from above with an eye to control and gains it. She grabs at Mel’s ankles and pulls her into a floor to sitting body scissor. Goth pulls Mel’s head downward and surprises her with another arm bar attempt as she crosses her legs across Mel’s neck area. The beautiful redhead is desperately trying to get away and this time temporarily breaks out of danger. Goth has the advantage and continues to pursue it.
The MMA princess traps Mel’s head between her legs and pushes it downward. Relentless, she grasps Mel’s left arm and begins to apply another brutal arm bar.
Mel resists.
Totally in control, Goth sits atop Mel and begins to control her arms and slide her right leg across Mel’s throat for a choke. She leverages Mel’s head by pulling it forward. The pressure is too much and Mel taps out.
3-0 for Goth Delilah (13:23).
Time to get back to it.
Goth controls the action again as Mel seems resigned to being strictly defensive. As they tumble towards the corner of the mats, for a moment Mel has an opportunity to scissor Goth’s head and torso area, but loses it.
That is all that Goth needed.
She works her way back up top to the sitting on Mel’s chest and snares her in a leg Triangle Choke.
Mel resists.
Goth swiftly captures Mel’s head, pulls it forward for another pressure smother and choke forcing the shapely girl to tap out.
4-0 Goth leads (15:46).
Time is called.
The MMA Warrior attains a decisive victory. Mel Fire continues to gain experience and global respect.
Fully competitive women’s event submission wrestling at its finest.
