Keri returns to ECC as she takes on Nico, a jujitsu trained fighter.
I watched this fight earlier this evening.
Keri/Ariana's warm up routine is very entertaining: Diving somersaults, backward rolls and lots of rhythmic callisthenics, during which she focuses mainly on her very shapely legs - as did I!
Before the fight begins, the producer runs through the rules, and informs the ladies that submissions must be verbal, rather than by tap-out, and I'm glad he did that. When Keri submits Nico, which she does more than once, Nico tries to get away with tapping rather than submitting verbally, and Keri won't allow her to do it, insisting that she should say “I give.” if she wants to be released.
Keri actually forgets the rules herself and punches Nico in the ribs once, and there is also a brief exchange of kicks, which is something I havn't seen in an ECC fight before.
