September 20, 2024,
Events, events, and more events.
We love them.
Fully competitive female submission wrestling events. They are the best.
When you add the newer wrestler Maze to the roster, wonderful turns into amazing.
When you add Nika to the roster, she checks all of the boxes. Beauty, athleticism, sex appeal and prolific wrestling.
So, as you might guess, when Nika faces Maze, all eyes should be watching.
In this match, Nika sails in as the heavy favorite. We’ve reviewed many of her matches and she is mostly on the winning end.
Maze is a newer girl and we reviewed her match against the shapely Mel Fire and it was closerthanthis.
Loved it.
So, today, we wonder if Maze can hold up to Nika’s overwhelming advantages.
Time to find out. Let’s go ringside.
MAZE VS NIKA

The two girls provide the traditional pose and look amazingly beautiful.
Time to fight.
The ref tells them to take it away.
They begin with a quick upper neck struggle and Maze wises wraps her arms around Nika’s neck in headlock form. She also traps and scissors Nika’s right leg. When you are the underdog, as Maze clearly is here, sometimes the best offense is a good defense and Maze is applying that here as, with her back to the floor, she locks on to both Nika’s neck and leg and is determined not to let go. Nika squirms but, for now, is tightly trapped.
They struggle for some time.
It would be best for Maze to try and make something happen with this advantage. Perhaps surprise advantage because she probably will not catch Nika off guard again.
Now is the time to do it. Can she?
Nika slowly breaks the hold.
Maze tries to stay on top of her but, from her back, Nika effectively uses her gorgeous athletic legs to circle around and keep Maze at bay. Maze stops, sits and allows Nika to get up. While it won’t count on the scoreboard, count that one for Nika who escaped a sure submission.
Time to engage.
In this new joust, Nika wastes no time in taking Maze down with a right armed headlock. It is a tight one. Maze squirms around but Nika will not let go. The veteran made the wise decision to roll on top of Maze and use her body weight for leverage. She then increases her odds of a submission by clasping Maze’s right arm between her strong legs.
Maze taps out.
1-0 for Nika. (3:28).
Time to engage.
Nika swiftly crashes Maze into a floor to sitting body scissors. For good measure, she grabs Maze’s right wrist and holds on, setting her up for a squeeze and arm bar. Maze resists, stands up and rolls Nika backwards, getting herself out of immediate danger and tries to use her legs to scissor Nika as well, who brushes her leg attempts aside and maintains her body scissors. The two beautiful girls are fighting from the elongated position.
Nika pushes and pushes her way to the top of Maze and, hands behind her neck, attempts a smother. Maze was unable to secure a leg scissor to prevent a full mount and now, that is exactly what Nika is armed with. Nika is in complete control and now has to decide which pathway to pursue.
Nika continues to apply the pressure from the top as Maze kicks and squirms underneath. They circle around the mat floor. Complete advantage to Nika. How long can Maze hold out? Not very.
Maze taps out.
2-0 for Nika (5:58).
They start from the knees.
The two female warriors take a moment to recover. Maze looks a little spent. Typical Nika, she is calm and gathering herself. As they engage, Maze begins to back up and then leaps at Nika’s neck. Nika, a little caught off guard, rolls with the punches and lands on top of Maze who finally gets the top position herself but they are too close to the edge of the mats.
Time to start again.
Maze sits back and waits for Nika. The more experienced Nika takes her time as well.
The hand fighting starts. Nika gets the best of it and takes Maze down to the mats and begins to control her with a side body scissor.
They struggle.
Finally Maze asserts herself, pulls out of the scissor and goes on the offensive and manages to mount Nika in the elongated position. Careful, as they are near the edge of the mats but Maze manages to pull Nika closer to the center and begins to apply pressure with a wrist lock, from the top. Nika grimaces but manages to scissor Maze’s right leg to prevent a full mount. Nika kicks hard and almost escapes but Maze hangs on to the top position and is in a great state to smother.
Nika keeps moving and squirming as Maze mirrors it. Maze moves up Nika’s chest for a full smother and applies the pressure. Nika finally taps out.
2-1 Nika is ahead (9:41).
Amazing.
We didn’t see that coming. Especially since Maze appeared to be a little tired. Let’s see if she can build some momentum.
They sit for a moment. They appear to need the rest.
Go.
Maze leaps at Nika’s neckline with a left armed headlock. Great move. Nika is determined to get this match back on her track and fights back, eventually making her way to the top, in the elongated position. Maze immediately tries to prevent a smother with a two handed fence. Fence or not, Nika keeps her body pressure and weight on Maze’s upper torso.
Maze fights back.
Nika keeps pressing the issue up top and up front as Maze aggressively tries to kick out of it. Nika rides the escape and keeps Maze in a scissor. She works Maze’s wrist and presses more smother attempts as they fight near the edge of the mat. Nika really begins to pressure Maze’s left elbow and wrist until the newer girl screams and taps out.
3-1 for Nika (11:50).
In watching Nika begin, she often has an unusual way of not looking directly at her opponent, as she has her hands out and contemplates what to do next. Often the more effective of the two, she pulls Maze’s head downwards and scissors her from the floor.
As we’ve said a million times, the floor to sitting body scissors is a soft move at best. A last resort or first resort if you have no real plan. You are rarely going to submit today’s MMA in shape female wrestlers with the floor to sitting body scissor. Then, when they break the hold, they are right on top of you.
That is what happens here.
Maze breaks the hold, spins around Nika and is close to capturing her in a reverse head scissor. Effective or not, Maze is now on top. Nika is bent over in the turtle position with her head between Maze’s legs. Maze rolls Nika to the side and squeezes. Nika tries to keep Maze’s legs pried apart with her right leg.
Doesn’t work.
Maze has got her wrapped up, squeezes hard and Nika taps out. Wow. A little surprising. No offense to Maze but we thought, due to her lack of experience, Nika would defeat her handily. Maze has some amazing grit.
3-2 Nika leads (13:50).
Time to start.
Nika is the aggressor and takes Maze down with her right arm while Maze scissors Nika’s right leg to prevent a full mount. Nika is trying to apply the pressure as Maze is determined to fend her off. Maze misses a Guillotine Choke as Nika keeps her left forearm pressed to Maze’s throat. As their holds are broken, both fight from the floor in elongated positions, legs kicking at one another. For a second, with her right knee on Maze’s stomach, it appeared, in the corner of the mat, Nika was about to gain control but Maze thwarts that and the two engage from the floor, flailing and kicking. Maze grasps Nika for a double armed headlock and tries to apply a side body scissor.
Great idea but time runs out.
Still, kudos to Maze. Very impressive. Nika always puts up a great fight but Maze was extremely impressive in keeping this one closer than expected.
London women’s submission wrestling wonders never cease.
