Kahti and Lia Labowe meet on the outdoor mats at a Fighting Style summer event in Greece for one of the most anticipated matchups of the entire gathering.
By this point in the event, both women had already established themselves as two of the toughest and most successful competitors there.
Kahti, the experienced German kickboxer, had been using her strength, athleticism and fighting experience to overpower a series of opponents.
Lia Labowe, the skilled American Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner and career catfighter, had also been winning consistently and proving herself as one of the most technically dangerous women at the event.
Naturally, everyone wanted to see what would happen when the two finally faced each other.
As Kahti and Lia stepped onto the mats, the other wrestlers and catfighters gathered around on the surrounding sun loungers to watch. Even with overcast skies and rain falling around the outdoor wrestling area, nobody wanted to miss the matchup.
Both women had developed reputations for going hard.
And neither was known for giving in easily.
The contest begins as a pure submission grappling match.
Immediately, it becomes obvious why both women had been so successful.
Kahti uses her physical strength, balance and combat experience to apply pressure, while Lia relies on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu technique, flexibility and positional awareness to stay dangerous from almost anywhere on the ground.
Neither woman can establish a decisive advantage.
For approximately five minutes they battle through takedowns, positional exchanges and submission attempts, only for each attack to be neutralized by equally strong defence.
Eventually, both competitors recognize the same problem.
They are simply too evenly matched under pure grappling rules.
If they want a definitive winner, something has to change.
So Kahti and Lia agree to loosen the rules.
Hair pulling and body slaps are added.
The atmosphere immediately changes.
What started as a highly technical women’s wrestling match develops into a much rougher competitive catfight, with both women now able to use aggressive tactics to disrupt their opponent’s grappling.
Hair pulling becomes a weapon for controlling head position and preventing escapes, while hard body slaps punish the woman underneath during close-range ground exchanges.
The technical wrestling remains, but now it is mixed with another layer of aggression.
