January 6, 2025,
She is having her day in the sun even if it is foggy in London.
Ivy Rain is a shapely beauty who has previously primarily plied her wrestling trade in England. Almost exclusively. The female submission sirens went off when she crossed the border and traveled to Hungary to wrestle at the most prominent events in our known world at Antscha’s.
To best the best, you have to wrestle the best.
Eventually.
Today, Ivy is not wrestling the best. Not a slight, just an observation.
Her opponent Cassie is a slight sexy girl from Hungary. If you are going to cut your teeth at an elite destination, it is nice to start with a sweet girl you should beat.
Back in July of 2022, when we first reviewed Cassie against another newer girl in Minnie, here is what FCI had to say.
“Every fully competitive female submission wrestler should have her day.
No matter the skill level.
Even if she is new. As long as she gives her best effort and wrestles competitively.
Hungary’s Cassie and Minnie fit that description.
They will meet in battle here, in a European contest destined to excite.
Minnie is trained in Krav Maga.
Krav Maga is a military self-defense and fighting system developed for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israeli security forces.
It is derived from a combination of techniques used in aikido, boxing, judo, karate, and wrestling. It is known for its focus on real-world situations and its extreme efficiency.
Like most martial arts, Krav Maga encourages students to avoid physical confrontation. If this is impossible or unsafe, it promotes finishing a fight as quickly and aggressively as possible.
That sounds like great training for a beginner.
Her opponent Cassie is a swimmer who is also trained in BJJ.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport based on ground fighting and submission holds.
BJJ focuses on the skill of taking an opponent to the ground, controlling one's opponent, gaining a dominant position, and using a number of techniques to force them into submission via joint locks or chokeholds.
BJJ revolves around the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend him/herself against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground and using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them.”
Okay, good to know. New but skilled.
Let’s see how those skills hold up against the British favorite in Ivy Rain.
CASSIE VS IVY RAIN

After some posing and flexing, it is time to begin. Antscha makes the introductions.
Ivy immediately begins to take the fight to Cassie with a Bear Hug and takes the slender girl down to the mats, immediately lies on top of her and begins to smother. It is quickly becoming apparent that Cassie does not have the strength to push the shapely Ivy off of her.
Antscha begins the pin count as Cassie puts up little resistance and is counted out.
1-0 for Ivy (1:29).
The good news is that Cassie isn’t smiling and won’t turn this into to chitter chatter, doesn’t matter match. She seems to want redemption. The slender beauty lies on her back and pulls Ivy downward towards her and locks her into scissors as Ivy ties to escape from her knees. As opposed to Cassie, she does have the strength and stays up top, twirls and captures Cassie in a folding pin, placing her behind on Cassie’s face. The British princess pulls back even further taking Cassie’s ankles over her shoulders for a full pin and Antscha begins the pin count. Very sexy segment as Cassie struggles underneath Ivy’s form. Antscha counts her out at ten.
2-0 for Ivy (2:26).
Okay. Time for a question. Is Cassie actually going to get one submission in this match? The fact that Ivy is going to win is a no brainer so the only mystery here is if Cassie is going to score.
The good news is that Cassie still has a serious look on her face.
She engages Ivy from her knees, hand fighting until Ivy quickly captures her and rolls her into a side body scissor. They fall to the mats. Antscha encourages Cassie to escape but there will be none. Cassie quickly taps out.
3-0 for Ivy (3:15).
Hand fighting from the knees, tying up one another’s wrists, Ivy gains control, once more. She bends Cassie downward, comes in over the top, while Cassie is bent, and applies a brutal reverse head scissor. The gorgeous maiden is pulling out all stops going deep into the playbook. Why not. Cassie can’t stop anything she is doing thus far. Cassie grimaces as she is trapped in the head scissor and as Ivy slides her to the side, down on the mats, her python scissors looks really painful. One of our associates has been in a scissor like that and it actually really does hurt. He could feel the pressure on his eye sockets.
Cassie is in pain and under pressure.
The Hungarian starlit struggles and manages to trap Ivy in a mutual elongated head scissor. That only lasts a second as the stronger Ivy breaks the scissor and while Cassie is lying on the floor, Ivy stretches out from the top applying more leverage to the scissor she maintained.
How much more of this can Cassie stand?
Quite a bit, actually. Cassie keeps using her legs to fight off and be aggressive with Ivy. It really isn’t having an impact but surprisingly, Cassie has not submitted. Ivy uses her strong thighs to roll Cassie here and toss her over there, maintaining the scissors.
There is a breakthrough.
Ivy lets go of the scissor, sits on top of Cassie and begins to apply a reverse face sit. The scissor is gone but Cassie’s problems are not. Cassie uses her legs to try and pull Ivy off but all that happens is a face sit turns into a folding pin. Antscha begins the count and Cassie is submitted at ten.
Ivy leads 4-0 (6:28).
Cassie is still game. But, is she still in the game?
Ivy comfortably seems to think not. They engage and Ivy quickly pulls Cassie downward and falls on top of her. Here we go again. Ivy traps Cassie in a reverse head scissor from the top. We have seen this movie before and we already know the ending. Ivy twists Cassie’s left arm for flavor. She then rolls her to the side, squeezes and you know the rest.
5-0 for Ivy (8:21).
Ivy is incredibly confident. Good for her because she will soon meet the powerful muscle girl Dolly. Then, she’ll need all of the confidence she can get. Today, she smiles and comes to play. This time she bull rushes slender Cassie who falls on her back while Ivy sits on her chest. Cassie just doesn’t have the strength to push Ivy off.
Ivy leads 6-0 (9:08).
Cassie is serious. She catches Ivy by surprise and takes her down, from behind the back and captures her head and hand smothers her face. The audience gasps in surprise. Ivy is caught off guard too. Cassie tries to choke and smother her out. Can she?
Not strong enough.
Ivy finally breaks the hold and is immediately on top of Cassie.
The rising star from England falls forward and applies a smother. Cassie is furiously kicking her beautiful legs to escape. Not going to happen.
7-0 for the stronger girl (10:43).
This is the part of a blowout match that we fear. Antscha intervenes and asks Ivy to lie on her back and have Cassie sit on her. Cassie also grasps Ivy’s wrists, planting them down on the mats.
Will Ivy be able to get away?
Easily.
She huffs and puffs and blows Cassie off. She then mounts Cassie and falls forward. Cassie uses her legs to try and kick out and Ivy alertly traps her in a folding pin. Familiar territory here. Cassie is counted out.
Please, no more gimmicks.
The succulent flower from England leads 8-0 (12:17).
After this, the lopsided match becomes playful as Ivy adds one more submission to conclude it.
You’re only as good as your opponent allows you to look. Having said this, after watching Ivy wrestle in England, she appears to have upgraded.
Today, Ivy was just too strong for slender Cassie. That, coupled with more hard wrestling experience produced a match we expected.
