#5 Meiko Satomura vs. Mercedes Martinez (Mae Young Classic, October 3rd)
Trending
Though this wasn't quite the match of the year candidate it was being hyped as in the immediate aftermath, it was still easily the best match of the entire Mae Young Classic tournament, despite it only taking place in the second round.
It's a result that shouldn't have been too surprising. Meiko Satomura and Mercedes Martinez were the two women with the most experience out of the entire field. For two women that had never worked together before, though, they meshed beautifully. They went shot for shot on bone-crunching strikes and strong grappling manoeuvres.
They traded their big moves, with Mercedes Martinez hitting her Fisherman Buster and Meiko Satomura her Death Valley Bomb. Ultimately, it was the Scorpion Rising kick that finally put Mercedes Martinez away and allowed Meiko Satomura to advance to the third round of the tournament.
