The Club Ritz wasn’t exactly expertly a new main event, but owner Jimmy Hammer, was more than happy to change the card. Atlantic City is known for it’s big fights; it’s the eastern United States’ version of Las Vegas and the club is filled with patrons, both of the upper class and the fighting world. Joanne is in the back with Laurie, who can’t stop shaking.
Laurie- This is a bad idea, Jo. Did you see how many people there are out there?
Jo- So what? That’s more to see you kick Praggy’s fat ass.
Laurie- She’s a more experienced fighter than I am. She’s bigger and stronger; I can’t act like that doesn’t concern me. And this is her atmosphere.
Jo- Laurie… am I really hearing this from you? How many girls who were bigger than you have you taken down? How about Baby Liz? Remember you were telling me how she was supposed to be some hot tough girl back in the Badlands, and you beat her in front of all those people in the field (see my story “Bad Girl Diaries: Baby Liz”)?
Laurie- Yeah but--
Joanne- Yeah but my ass!
Laurie- Butt your ass? Isn’t it all the same?
Joanne- Now you’re starting to sound more like the Laurie Breeze I know. Now, I got this outfit for you and I hope you like it.
Laurie looks at the leopard print bikini and raises an eyebrow as the blonde Joanne grins broadly.
Jo- There’s nothing wrong with looking sexy while you win, right?
Laurie- Yeah, but there’s also something called “leaving a little to the imagination.” I wear bikinis, but that’s dental floss.
Jo- Hey look; you want to learn more about fighting and I told you to stick with me because I know the sport. So, image isn’t everything, but it’s a pretty big thing. Praggy’s gonna shit herself when she sees you come out in this number here, and the crowd will already be against her. You used their momentum to beat Baby Liz and you can beat this fat, slow, heifer too. Just go in there and kick her ass.
Ten minutes later…
“Rebel Yell” by Billy Idol hits, and out come both Girl Wrestler Joanne and Laurie Breeze. Laurie is in the leopard print string bikini and she looks focused as Joanne is talking to her all the way to the cage and Laurie is nodding, biting down on her mouthpiece and tightening her fists in the black gloves. The fans only know Laurie from her internet beating of Baby Liz, who is now an undefeated MMA fighter, but they are cheering the 5’1” 111 lb girl with her blue eyes, round face, and slightly above the shoulder length curly brown hair.
This song is usually Joanne’s, but since Laurie hasn’t established theme music yet, she’s going with her bestie’s music. Laurie bounces around on her bare feet and can’t help but look around at all the people who’ve filled the Club Ritz to see this fight. She’s said in the past that she has no interest in wrestling or mma, but she petitioned to be on the Ultimate Catfighter due to Joanne’s success in the fighting world and Laurie’s own interest, television show and was recently told that she would be competing. Laurie wasn’t expecting to be fighting; she’s really a nice girl with a very unique sense of kindness and concern. But, she’s learning to play the crowd…
Laurie- Bring that bitch out here!!!!!!!!!! I’m gonna rip her head off!!!!!!! (crowd cheers) Yeah!! Yeah!!! She’s scared to come out!!!! She’s scared because she’s knows I’m gonna knock her fat ass out!!!!
“Devil Woman” by Clete Francis hits and Praggy comes out in a black cut off lyca tank top and lycra bottoms, showing her soft stomach with very large cats eye shaped navel. Praggy gives away a slightly sad expression when she hears the boos, but looks at her boyfriend, sitting in a black suit with red tie, ever the devil he calls himself, and he responds with two thumbs up and mouths the word “focus.” Praggy nods as she bounces in her black boots and presses the knuckles of her black grappling glove on her right hand into the palm of the matching one on her left right before she enters and stares at Laurie and Joanne.
Praggy considers herself to be a genuinely good person, just misunderstood. She does feel she is a good fighter and her wins in the wrestling world are deserved, despite being the girlfriend of the promoter. The war of words between Praggy and Joanne has cut deep with the Indian woman, and she pounds her fists together and waits for the bell to ring, turning and taking one last look at her boyfriend through the chain cage that surrounds the octagon mat.
Laurie- I’m gonna hurt you soooooo bad, fatty! You don’t know what’s coming your way!! I’m gonna breeze right through you!!
Praggy- Okay.
The bell rings and Laurie charges out with her arms raised and legs bent while Praggy comes out with her arms a little lower, but when the two women meet at center cage, Praggy unloads a right cross that hits Laurie in the nose.
Laurie- Unnnhhh!!!
Laurie’s eyes close, blood sprays from her nose and she stumbles back, only to get nailed with a hooker cut (half uppercut/half hook) that slams into her neck just below the right side of her jaw.
Laurie- Uhhh!!!
Laurie desperately grabs Praggy around the waist to prevent herself from going down. Praggy grabs Laurie’s bra and pulls up on the string while slamming short uppercuts into Laurie’s already bleeding face. Laurie lifts her arms to her face to cover up and backs up blindly, but doubles over with an “Oof!!!” when Praggy sticks a hard right hand to the pit of her stomach, about a half an inch above Laurie’s tiny deep almond shaped navel and Laurie’s abs, which have a slight tone to them, but are pretty soft, absorb the fist and Laurie’s legs buckle again. Praggy smiles at Laurie as the shorter girl backs up, trying to resist the urge to grab her stomach, which she admits is her weak spot, and leave herself open to a punch to her bleeding face.
Joanne- Come on, Laurie!! Take your time, girl!! She’s not as fast as you are and she can’t take a beating like you can!! Get her!!
Laurie- Take a beating like I can? What the--OUGH!!!
Laurie doubles over from a shot to the stomach, right above the navel and Praggy runs right into her, grabbing her around her armpits and pushing her against the cage wall, keeping her chest in Laurie’s face, stomping down on Laurie’s bare right foot with her booted left one, and digging lefts to Laurie’s right side, looking for her liver, but hurting the brunette with stomach shots, every shot forcing a groan from the shorter girl as she tries not to fold over.
Praggy- Come on, Laurie Breeze… I heard you wanted to be a fighter; I heard you were fearless. All I see before me is a reflection of your worthless fucking bitch of a friend, Girl Wrestler Joanne. Well Laurie, I wrestle women, not girls and AHHHHHHHH!!!! Ohhhhhhhh!!!!
Praggy raises up on her toes and widens her eyes as Laurie’s fingernail digs into her large navel. Praggy admits that this is her weak spot, a part of her body she adores, but an extremely sensitive spot and because it’s so large, an easy target for an opponent. Praggy feels the sensation of both pleasure and pain and moans as Laurie removes her fingernail from the spot and replaces it with a fist.
Praggy- Ugghh!!
Praggy backs up, allowing Laurie off of the cage, but comes at the shorter girl with a left hook aimed at her head, only for Laurie to duck under it and land a left hook of her own to the bigger girl’s navel.
Praggy- Guuuuhhh!!!
Praggy steps back again, looking weakly at Laurie who curiously jabs the bigger girl’s navel and watches as Praggy bends and loudly moans out an “Ohhhhhh!!!!”
Laurie- Wow… this is a pleasant surprise for me, and appears for you too.
Joanne- Jump on her, Laurie!! You can do it!!
Laurie grabs the taller Indian girl by her ponytail and fires underhanded left after left into the navel, each punch causing the much taller and bigger Praggy to jump backwards.
Praggy- OOOF!!! OUGGGHHH!!! OHHHHH!!!! UUUGGGGHHHH!!!! UMMMMM!!!! GUUUUHHH!!!
Now, Laurie has Praggy’s back against the cage with the bigger girl trying to cover up as Laurie continues to go after her stomach. Praggy grabs Laurie around her shoulders and leans on her, trying to get the smaller girl on the ground, but Laurie turns and Praggy is clipped and lands on her back with Laurie on top. Laurie sees the opportunity to give Praggy Joanne’s face sitting finisher, but as the smaller girl looks to drop her crotch on Praggy’s face, the black haired Indian bench presses Laurie off of her and Laurie is shoved right back onto her feet.
Joanne- Get back on her, Laurie!! She’s hurting; she’s hurting; she’s… oh shit.
Praggy is up fast, ducks low and rams her shoulder low into Laurie’s stomach, forcing a loud “OUGH!!!” from Laurie as she folds right into Praggy’s arms and Praggy lifts Laurie up and body slams her hard to the mat.
Laurie- Unnnhhh!!!!
Joanne- Get out of there!!! Push off the balls of your feet, arch your back and slide out from under her!!!
Praggy is in side control and starts bringing her left fist down on Laurie’s face over and over again and the blood and swelling is starting to pick up, but Laurie, despite being on her back and not really having much of a ground game (by her own admission) rams knees into Praggy’s right side and after a few groans, the bigger girl tries to switch positions to a full mount on Laurie, but once Laurie feels the weight shift and the hammer fists stop, she nails Praggy with an elbow to her rounded left cheek.
Praggy- Uhhh!!
Two more elbows and Praggy sits up on Laurie, bringing her arms up to protect her face, so Laurie eyes that stomach and starts firing shot after shot on that delicate navel, which is (as Praggy said it would) swelling to an even larger size than it already was. One particular shot forces out a high pitched “uhhh uhh uhhhhhh” from Praggy and she scoots off of Laurie and backs up, getting to her feet, but Laurie grabs Praggy’s long hair and pulls her forward, driving her knee into the bigger girl’s stomach.
Praggy- OOF!!!
Laurie- Not so fast, bitch ass!
Praggy crumbles to her knees, but as Laurie looks to knee her in the face, Praggy reaches out and grabs Laurie’s thighs, pulling her down on her back and mounting her.
Praggy- Let me show you a bitch, Laurie.
Praggy starts raining down punches on Laurie’s bleeding face, but Laurie covers up quickly, so Praggy goes to her favorite target on an opponent… Laurie’s soft belly. Praggy batters Laurie’s upper abs, just below her breasts, forcing “Oough’s” and “Uummpphh’s” from Laurie with shots to her solar plexus, digging her fists deep onto Laurie’s navel and getting “Guuuuuh’s,” “Ohhhh’s,” and “Ummmm’s” from Laurie and feeling the fight leaving the shorter girl as she hammers the pouch below Laurie’s navel. Laurie admits that once she’s on her back, she’s in trouble and she can’t hear Praggy’s taunting words, but watches her bra ripped right off of her, exposing her breasts as Praggy’s eyes have a sick, twisted look in them. Laurie knows Praggy is taking great pleasure in her pain and Laurie considers giving up to the bigger girl. The punches won’t stop hitting her belly and Praggy doesn’t seem to be getting tired, despite her curvy figure.
Laurie realizes that Praggy is a well conditioned athlete who has years of wrestling experience, both professionally and in the traditional Indian fighting styles. And while Laurie’s Native American Lakota heritage has several wrestling styles of its own, Laurie read about them, but never practiced them. Then, Laurie sees arms arch around Praggy’s neck and tighten, and a familiar pair of legs wrap around her waist and take her down in a scissor sleeper. Girl Wrestler Joanne is in the cage.
Joanne- That was the fucking bell, you bitch!!! You didn’t hear the fucking bell?!! Get off my friend!!!
The referee pulls Joanne off of Praggy and Joanne helps Laurie back to the corner as Laurie holds her stomach and feels the blood running down her face. That round didn’t exactly go the way she expected it; her head is ringing and her stomach is aching. Praggy exhales deeply and plops down on the stool in her corner. This isn’t going the way she expected it either; she thought she was going to run right over Laurie Breeze. Praggy has often had her heart questioned in her fights. She’s lost several by submission, while Laurie’s heart has never been in question, but her fighting skills and confidence in her own abilities has. The two women look across the cage at each other and both sigh as the prepare for Round 2.
More to come…
