This fight was totally worth the wait:
<1> Kaos is looking great. Including her haircut. No attempt to pin it up, or to make it anything other than totally pullable.
<2> Nikki, too! Great purple-pink streak on the top and front. So think and dark in the back. Nikki hasn't aged a day since her last fight.
<3> Kaos's prefight interview has just the right amount of attitude....
<4> ....and Nikki doesn't flinch at being introduced as "the world's greatest fighter." She is .... and she knows it.
<5> Whoa! Actual fists allowed?!?.....
<6> .....Even to the face?!?!?
<7> 5-minute rounds are usually buzzkills. But it works here, since Kaos and Nikki are so even, they get into a couple of stalemate clinches.
<8> Nikki's hairpulling is merciless....
<9> .....almost as merciless as Kaos's face scratching.
<10> The winner is the one who finally adapts her strategy to account for the surpringly lax rules.....
<11> .....and has obviously been in a real street fight.....or several
<12> Post-fight interviews: both girls hungry for a rematch.
Great fight, ladies!
