AWC Fight Times Mag 3 — Emma versus Nikki

The 3rd match of European Club fight night featured Emma taking on Nikki.  So far, Emma had not had much luck in the AWC. After losing most of her matches so far, Emma enters this match in need of a win.  Just as the British fight community has been critical of Rachel, they are equally critical of Emma’s lack of success. Nikki enters the fight unsure of what to expect in her rookie fight.  Nikki’s goal is to start off her AWC career with a win.

In the moments leading up to the match, both fighters appear focused and intense. Nikki talks quietly with her husband on one side of the room while Emma stretches and flexes for the crowd. The crowd gathering for the fight seems fairly evenly split during the pre-fight stage.

Emma (5’4 128 pounds 20 y/o) lives in a small village near Manchester.  She works in a local hospital as a nurse’s aide while she tries to save enough money to go to school.  Emma played football (soccer) during her youth and has stayed in excellent shape since.  Emma’s short interview response about why she would be a good Apartment fighter — “I am fast, strong and in great shape.  And I’m not going to put up with anything out of an opponent.  I will fight to win no matter what.”

Nikki (5’4 115lbs 28 y/o) lives in Vienna.  She married the son of an extremely wealthy business mogul.  She spends her time working out and living a life of luxury in comparison to most.  She has become a big fan of cross fit activities and is considering competing in that arena as well.  She is also rumored to have been a member of a local fighting/wrestling club in the area before meeting her now husband.  Nikki’s response about why she would be a good Apartment fighter — “Skilled and dedicated.  That says it all.  I am committed to being the best and will work hard to prepare my body to fight.  I have skill that most don’t expect me to possess.  Those will make me a winner.”
