Michelle is dealing with a bad back, but hopes to return soon. Sasha would fight her again.
What did Sasha do that was dirty fighting?
Sasha scratches especially when locked in close with an opponent. She's been told not to, but has done it in more than one fight. She also bit Jean on the arm, something she did to Michelle in an earlier fight. We allow wrestling, hairpulling and slapping to body and face. Sasha is fighting again soon and we'll see if she can stick to the rules.
If she keeps doing it, are you still gonna let her compete w/you guys? I know it can create intense battles to be sure, but she would seem to be a liability at some point if she is out to hurt her opponents like this. You do want those that compete with you to be safe and what have you I would imagine.
Obviously, I haven’t seen either of Sasha’s fights with Jean yet. But based upon what I saw of her vs Michelle, I’d say that when it comes to dirty tactics, Sasha’s bark is worse than her bite. [Sorry, I just couldn’t resist that]
Women usually wear their finger nails long, compared to men. When they grab an opponent in a fight, especially if the opponent is pulling away because she doesn’t want to be grabbed, scratches can happen.
If a girl is fighting hard, mouth open to suck in oxygen, and she closes her mouth when the other lady clamps an arm or leg across her face, and maybe has a little nibble at the offending appendage – well, that’s biting, I guess, but it’s not like Tyson vs Holyfield.
That was the kind of thing Sasha was doing with Michelle. At least, that’s what it looked like to me, so I wouldn’t class Sasha as a liability.
Blair, who fought Irish, definitely was. If I was a producer, I wouldn’t touch her again with a barge-pole.
