Speaker 1: Causer Media.
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Away Days podcast on the ground outside,
Speaker 2: reporting from the underbelly with me Jake Hanrahan. To watch
Speaker 2: Awaydays documentaries, go to YouTube dot com slash at away
Speaker 2: Days TV.
Speaker 3: This is part one.
Speaker 2: No Rules Is No Rules, Episode three. This podcast in
Speaker 2: the production of h Lemon Studio and.
Speaker 3: Call Zone Media.
Speaker 2: It's a few months since the FPVS fighting can and
Speaker 2: now I'm in Germany or just about mate, we're.
Speaker 3: In the middle of nowhere is that the term.
Speaker 2: I'm driving through a rundown town right on the border
Speaker 2: with Strasbourg, trying to find the occasion of another No
Speaker 2: Rules underground event. There were green hills and traditional scenic
Speaker 2: villages here and there on the drive in, but the
Speaker 2: final destination is honestly a bit of a tip reminds
Speaker 2: me of home. Everything's gray concrete and dying retail parks,
Speaker 2: lad stood on corners and arguments and alleyways.
Speaker 3: It's a long long way.
Speaker 2: From hipster Berlin, a place where I got laughed at
Speaker 2: by a guy with a waxed mustache when I ordered
Speaker 2: a black coffee earlier. In contrast, this morning, in this
Speaker 2: border town, an old fellow wanted to fight because he
Speaker 2: felt I'd parked too close to his car. It's a
Speaker 2: long way from Berlin. Indeed, this place is probably perfect
Speaker 2: for cross country smuggling, destitution, drugs, and a poorous border
Speaker 2: with France. I'm not too surprised there's an underground fight
Speaker 2: club here. We're a long way from Cannes as well.
Speaker 2: The fight club I'm heading to is called Frontier, perhaps
Speaker 2: named after the Franco Alamande Frontier border cross into the
Speaker 2: west of the city. Frontier is much more of an
Speaker 2: illicit organization than FPVSTPVS, for example, has the tagline just
Speaker 2: do sport and no one gets paid. Frontiers tagline is
Speaker 2: respect of the streets and fighters do get paid, not much,
Speaker 2: but they get something, whether at least opposed to moren that. Later,
Speaker 2: the GPS directs me out of the city and onto
Speaker 2: the outskirts. I drive through a small rural town and
Speaker 2: pull up to a long dirt road. Fight club is
Speaker 2: this way. Halfway down the track, there's a pit stop
Speaker 2: restaurant with a few heavy you stood outside, tall fellas
Speaker 2: with thick necks, sunglasses and a scary tracksuits. I pull
Speaker 2: up next to them and wind down my window. Blonde
Speaker 2: guy with a back he could break a chair on.
Speaker 2: Comes up to the car. He nods slightly, asking what
Speaker 2: I want. Do you know where the fights are?
Speaker 3: I ask?
Speaker 2: He laughs and looks around, kind of uncertain. Maybe he
Speaker 2: thinks I'm a cop. He takes a drag of his
Speaker 2: cigarette the fight. He asks, Yes, I'm here to see Lavvy.
Speaker 2: I say, Lavvy is the guy who runs Frontier. Ah,
Speaker 2: says Blondie. He nods, it's all good. He points to
Speaker 2: a fairly large but otherwise inconspicuous building in the near distance.
Speaker 2: It sits opposite some horse stables, which are obscuring most
Speaker 2: of the structure. But I can see where to go.
Speaker 2: A park up on the side of the road and
Speaker 2: get out the car. Everything is rock, gravel and mud underfoot.
Speaker 2: The building looks like a British workingman's club or an
Speaker 2: old function hall, Beige, drab, forgettable. It's tucked away, just
Speaker 2: off the road, surrounded by forgotten allotments and overgrown fields.
Speaker 2: If you use to fancy things, you might think the
Speaker 2: area is completely abandoned. It's not, though life goes on.
Speaker 2: It's just an under the table sort of location. I
Speaker 2: text Lavvy. He calls to say he'll be out in
Speaker 2: a bit. As I wait, more cars start arriving, black
Speaker 2: range rovers with black windows, boy racer hatchbacks, white work vans,
Speaker 2: vehicles for activities other than driving. Lovvy shouts over to
Speaker 2: me from the hall entrance and comes strolling over here.
Speaker 1: Is it yes, exectly middle of nowhere? Yes, executive.
Speaker 2: He's wearing a black face covering pulled up to his
Speaker 2: eyes and a bright red zip up jacket with the
Speaker 2: frontier logo embroidered into it. His hair is shaved short,
Speaker 2: and he's about six foot. He's slim but built like
Speaker 2: a fighter. He approaches me warmly and we shake hands.
Speaker 2: Lobby is upbeat and immediately friendly. In the back of
Speaker 2: his head, he's got a cab. All cops are bastards
Speaker 2: tattooed in large black letter with a butterfly knife underneath.
Speaker 2: It's a real career and the type of tattoo it's incredible.
Speaker 3: I love that in the.
Speaker 4: Back of your head, man, I'll tell us some beautiful.
Speaker 2: Lobby is instantly likable. There's zero front and no foot
Speaker 2: to come across toff. In my experience, it's guys like
Speaker 2: this who are actually about it. He's nice, but I'm
Speaker 2: sure he'd have my skull caved in if needs be.
Speaker 2: He tells me that outside of the fight clubs, he
Speaker 2: works at security, which could mean many different things. Immediately
Speaker 2: inside the building, there's an entrance hall where four men
Speaker 2: wearing balaclavas are stood waiting. They're each holding a baseball
Speaker 2: bat underground security. They nod at Lava and me and
Speaker 2: we're fine. Nobody search needed when the boss man is it.
Speaker 2: The security guy's waivers passed through two double doors into
Speaker 2: the main hall. Inside there's noise and lights and people
Speaker 2: filling in through an unseen back entrance. All along the
Speaker 2: edges there are permanent booths with tables here and there.
Speaker 2: On the walls, there's framed generic mail order arts, jazz
Speaker 2: bands in Italian kitchens. Fluorescent ceiling bulbs keep everything thing
Speaker 2: washed out. At the back of the room there's a
Speaker 2: small bar, and through that there's a corridor to a
Speaker 2: smaller function room. This place is a social club, only
Speaker 2: it's being transformed. In the middle of the room, there's
Speaker 2: a makeshift ring made of heavy duty Herris fencing. The
Speaker 2: portable galvanized steel frames you get on the perimeter of
Speaker 2: a building site. They are about ten foot tall. With
Speaker 2: fence blocks and clips holding them together. The fights take
Speaker 2: place inside this improvised arena. The floor is flat concrete.
Speaker 2: As I'm walking through the room with lav a spot
Speaker 2: and no rules. Fighter from back home in the UK,
Speaker 2: it's bash. Apparently he's fighting today. He notices me and
Speaker 2: comes over to say hi happily. Over the next half hour,
Speaker 2: the social club is converted into the fight club. There
Speaker 2: will be around five or six fights today. A big
Speaker 2: frontier banner is cable tied to the fences. There's maybe
Speaker 2: one hundred people inside now, dozens of them with large
Speaker 2: face tattoos, big guys, and big jackets, many in balaclavers.
Speaker 2: I get chatting to one of the fighters who tells
Speaker 2: me these people are largely members of serious organized motorcycle gangs.
Speaker 2: I can believe it. I spot more than a few
Speaker 2: Hells Angels, one percent of tattoos, and various other motorcycle
Speaker 2: gang logos. The crowd is heavy. There are contingents here
Speaker 2: that are definitely not friends, but for now the fighting
Speaker 2: is contained. This is a far cry from the young
Speaker 2: rogues of FPVS.
Speaker 3: This is a fight.
Speaker 2: Club with a much stronger criminal element. If you fuck
Speaker 2: around in here, in this nowhere town border area. You
Speaker 2: might just vanish. Lava's weaving in and out of the
Speaker 2: crowd of rapid pays trying to get things organized. A
Speaker 2: DJ is playing ship music and everyone is chatting non stop.
Speaker 2: There's an electric in the air. Fighters are sat around
Speaker 2: with their respective groups. Hands are getting wrapped, limbs are
Speaker 2: getting stretched. Today is a big one. It's the first
Speaker 2: time ever the women will be taking part in a
Speaker 2: no rules fight club. Two female fighters are planned with
Speaker 2: around four male fights as Labby heads outside to check
Speaker 2: the cops are not sniffing around and grabbing for a second,
Speaker 2: to talk about frontier What is frontier respected the streets?
Speaker 4: Frontier respect off the streets are something who what we
Speaker 4: built from the first fighter was the first fighter had
Speaker 4: a problem with other people in the ghetto of Strasbourg.
Speaker 4: Then we was fighting and after that we're filmed more
Speaker 4: and the Corona played us Willy in the cards because
Speaker 4: the jobs was not any more there. We come all
Speaker 4: from the street, from the security at the erotic business
Speaker 4: and other things, and that's why Corona closed all.
Speaker 1: So we was boring.
Speaker 4: Also because we trained together, we worked at a door together,
Speaker 4: and that's why we fought because it was also boring
Speaker 4: and with that we tried to come up.
Speaker 2: So basically, Lovey and his entourage were involved in running
Speaker 2: security for strip clubs and or maybe brothels in this area.
Speaker 2: When COVID hit and shut things down, those illicit businesses
Speaker 2: mostly fell apart. At the same time, love had an
Speaker 2: issue with some lads in Strasbourg. His crew went over.
Speaker 2: Lovey had a fight and someone decided to film it.
Speaker 2: From this frontier was sort of accidentally born. With himself
Speaker 2: and a load of violent heavies out of work, Lovey
Speaker 2: decided to form the Fight Club, essentially just to give
Speaker 2: them an outlet whilst there was fuck all to do
Speaker 2: during COVID.
Speaker 3: And what's happening today today?
Speaker 1: You will see blood, you will see crazy fights. Yes,
Speaker 1: and so god will nobody will die? Yes?
Speaker 2: Why is it like underground fighting is becoming really popular
Speaker 2: in Europe?
Speaker 3: Now? Why do you think that is?
Speaker 4: It's like a game, you know, we are still kids
Speaker 4: like that, we want to play. Yes, it's a special thing,
Speaker 4: you know. Not everybody does it. Everybody make maybe box
Speaker 4: and all we respect all the spots.
Speaker 1: But that is other. When you make a mistake, it's over.
Speaker 4: No referee say hey, come up again and blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: It's more brutal.
Speaker 1: It's more brutal. Yes, so these.
Speaker 2: Fights happening today, no rules, it says, no rules. What
Speaker 2: does that mean?
Speaker 1: Completely with no rules?
Speaker 2: So buying yes, exactly, high gouge yes, kick yes, like.
Speaker 4: In the street. You have to win, you have to survive.
Speaker 4: Nobody ask in the street because the honor.
Speaker 2: You know, you guys are selling this like pay per view, right,
Speaker 2: some people can watch it. How does that work out?
Speaker 2: It does it make money for you guys?
Speaker 4: It should be because it's much work inside and when
Speaker 4: you think about all the hours, all the days we
Speaker 4: put inside. Also we have also families. For myself, I
Speaker 4: have two daughters. I take that time for the club,
Speaker 4: you know, and it have also to pay because at
Speaker 4: the end I have discussions with my family, why you
Speaker 4: don't have time blah blah blah, you know, and for
Speaker 4: that I want also a little bit for myself. And yes,
Speaker 4: but it's not about it's not really about money.
Speaker 1: Of course.
Speaker 4: It all costs really much to make that, to get
Speaker 4: the people here at that and that and.
Speaker 1: It small passion, passion, it's passion because I make that.
Speaker 4: Now we make that no three years and there was
Speaker 4: nothing big money, you know, And we have discipline because
Speaker 4: we see the goal and one day it will be yes.
Speaker 2: So for lovely things are a little different. He wants
Speaker 2: to make money from this.
Speaker 3: He has to.
Speaker 2: He's put a lot of time and effort into organizing
Speaker 2: the fight club, so why shouldn't he read the benefits today?
Speaker 2: View it all across the world, although mostly Europe, will
Speaker 2: be able to pay around ten euros to watch several
Speaker 2: No Rules fights live and direct from Frontier Livey himself
Speaker 2: won't be fighting, but unlike some of the other fight clubs,
Speaker 2: he the leader of Frontier, has fought before as part
Speaker 2: of his own No Rules fight club.
Speaker 4: I fought four times here on my own, but I think,
Speaker 4: you know, I should give other people the chance because
Speaker 4: I'm also we make that, so we are in the business,
Speaker 4: so I don't I don't have also to fight, and
Speaker 4: I don't want a personal thing only about me.
Speaker 1: It's about the fighters, you know.
Speaker 2: And yes, no rules fighting as far as somewhere like
Speaker 2: it's very illegal, right what would happen if like the
Speaker 2: police came down here or whatever.
Speaker 1: Then many people run. Yes, it's like that.
Speaker 2: Really you're not worried about like them coming after your rest, and.
Speaker 1: I would be stupid if I'm not worried, you know.
Speaker 4: But it's like, yes, it's like that, we've we respected
Speaker 4: and all. But if it happens, then it happens. Yes,
Speaker 4: we are prepared for that, but you're never safe. Yeah,
Speaker 4: So no risk, no fun, no champagne.
Speaker 2: Your security guys who got like bats and weapons and
Speaker 2: they're searching people. Is they usually trouble from outside at
Speaker 2: these things?
Speaker 4: Not really, But you have to be careful because we
Speaker 4: are many different groups, many different characters, and we want
Speaker 4: to be safe just in case.
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly.
Speaker 3: Some people say like this stuff.
Speaker 2: People say this is too brutal, You shouldn't be doing it,
Speaker 2: it's dangerous, blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: What do you think about that?
Speaker 4: I think everybody have to decide that for his own
Speaker 4: And of course it's brutal, it's all that things, you know,
Speaker 4: But there are some people, you know, there are soldiers,
Speaker 4: and there are people who are normally us, and you
Speaker 4: have to decide for yourself what side you are. And
Speaker 4: in some people it grows. They cannot stop that, they
Speaker 4: cannot make in the office. No, they make that and
Speaker 4: other people are in the office. We need both of
Speaker 4: the people, you know, but we are from the other side.
Speaker 2: You couldn't do that, right, You couldn't go to normal
Speaker 2: work the you prefer fighting. Yes, If that wasn't clear,
Speaker 2: Lovey points out something that I think is pretty interesting here.
Speaker 2: He acknowledges that brutal no rules fighting is of course
Speaker 2: not for everybody, but he also says the more sedentary
Speaker 2: office work and nine to five type lifestyle is also
Speaker 2: not for everybody. It's not for them, that's for sure. However,
Speaker 2: he also says that we need both types of people
Speaker 2: in this world. Unlike most of the people I've spoke
Speaker 2: to in regards to no rules fight clubs, I think
Speaker 2: love is probably onto something yin and yang in the
Speaker 2: most violent way possible. The events start today, right, So
Speaker 2: there's people come in all over from all over. What
Speaker 2: kind of people are coming to fight? How do you
Speaker 2: get hold of them? How do they contact you?
Speaker 1: The underworld? Yeah, it's underworld.
Speaker 3: Yes, what do you think it's gonna happen today? If
Speaker 3: you're good?
Speaker 1: I hope so, I hope.
Speaker 4: So it will be a massive yes, and the most thing,
Speaker 4: of course, it will to be brutal, but I would
Speaker 4: like if I would say, I hope that something happens
Speaker 4: really like an accident. You know, we are happy when
Speaker 4: the people after can drink a beer, check you cola
Speaker 4: and are happy, you know, and have Maybe I like that, okay,
Speaker 4: but we also don't want that. That's why we have
Speaker 4: to be really careful because it's a concered ground, right.
Speaker 2: You don't want anyone to like be like damaged for life,
Speaker 2: of course not.
Speaker 1: We love to fight, Yes, it's the fight.
Speaker 2: What do you think like King of the Streets you
Speaker 2: guys call with them?
Speaker 1: Of course, of course they are of that.
Speaker 2: Again, all roads lead to King of the Streets. To
Speaker 2: properly understand no rules, I need to go to a
Speaker 2: Cots fight. It's very, very difficult for reporters though. The
Speaker 2: leader is extremely paranoid and does not allow anyone in
Speaker 2: that's close to the media. Cotts is about as hardcore
Speaker 2: as it gets in this scene. In some of their videos,
Speaker 2: they even brandish firearms, and I don't mean handguns. I'm
Speaker 2: talking semi or traumatic rifles. In Europe, that is a
Speaker 2: big deal. You don't get hold of such weapons unless
Speaker 2: you're well connected in the criminal underworld. Anytime I've reached
Speaker 2: out to Kots. They don't reply. I wouldn't reply either.
Speaker 2: Where there's a will, there's a way. Whilst Frontier is
Speaker 2: hardly doors open for anyone, it was definitely easier to
Speaker 2: get this access. I showed Lava Lord of my previous work,
Speaker 2: and he believed in the ethos of the Away Day's
Speaker 2: project as a whole. Once that was sorted and a
Speaker 2: few people vouch for me, it was on. So Here
Speaker 2: I am on the outskirts of Germany, waiting for the
Speaker 2: fights to begin. I noticed two of the women fighters
Speaker 2: getting ready. One is very short, with big fake eyelashes,
Speaker 2: a leopard print face tattoo, and lots of lipstick. She's
Speaker 2: dressed in a bright red Frontier tracksuit with black leather
Speaker 2: high heeled boots, and she's still very short. Her vibes
Speaker 2: are incredible. She's very nervous, so I decided to leave
Speaker 2: a bee and speak to her after the fight. One
Speaker 2: of the other fighters is getting her hands wrapped in tape,
Speaker 2: knuckles bare, but hands secured so us to help from breaking.
Speaker 2: She's tall, lean and with face, hand and neckattoos. She
Speaker 2: goes by the nickname Agro Terror. She seems shy, but
Speaker 2: she's happy to talk. She tells me she works at
Speaker 2: a bar and says she wants to fight to prove
Speaker 2: something to herself. Can she do it? Is she brave enough?
Speaker 2: I ask her what she thinks about doing this in
Speaker 2: such a male dominated world. Some men, no doubt in
Speaker 2: this scene, would say that women should not do no
Speaker 2: rules without skipping a beat. She simply replies, well, those men.
Speaker 3: Should shut up. I laugh, she laughs.
Speaker 2: I wish her good luck and I let her be
Speaker 2: as she goes to get prepared for the fight. Suddenly
Speaker 2: I see Bash making a beeline for me through the crowd.
Speaker 2: He looks distressed, with the only Brits here, so maybe
Speaker 2: there's some solidarity, but in this crowd there's absolutely fuck
Speaker 2: all I can do if there's trouble. But Bash explains
Speaker 2: basically he's worried about one of the other women who
Speaker 2: are fighting. I've not seen her yet, but he's telling
Speaker 2: me he's offered to give her money. Why, well, it's
Speaker 2: convoluted and Bash has unfortunately been drinking. But essentially what
Speaker 2: he tells me at least is that the opponent picked
Speaker 2: for agro Terra is a Romanian German single mother down
Speaker 2: on her luck. She's apparently only fighting for the money
Speaker 2: so she can help her kids. She doesn't train, apparently,
Speaker 2: and she has no real experience, whereas agro Terra does mma.
Speaker 2: Bash is visibly upset about this. I can see why
Speaker 2: it's hardly an even match if this is true. Whilst
Speaker 2: no rules might be a deeply underground activity, generally equal
Speaker 2: ability fight to the norm. If not to be fair,
Speaker 2: then to be entertainment. Scott for example, usually only has
Speaker 2: the best of the best at their events. It's rare
Speaker 2: to see someone trampled over in a minute, if what
Speaker 2: Bash is saying it is true, though we could see
Speaker 2: that happen with the first female no rules here at Frontier.
Speaker 2: Something doesn't seem right. Fash wanders off to speak to
Speaker 2: his wife. He's flown up with him as usual. Soon
Speaker 2: he's got to fight a lad known as Underdog. This
Speaker 2: guy has been shadow boxing in a corner with his
Speaker 2: earphones in the whole time we've been here. Underdog looks
Speaker 2: about half Bash's weight, but he's lighting his feet and
Speaker 2: looks pretty able. With Bash's experience, though, he should steam
Speaker 2: through Underdog easy well if he can sober up fast.
Speaker 2: The last groups of people filter in through the front
Speaker 2: after being frisked. At this point, when everyone's in, Lavy
Speaker 2: checks the curtains are drawn and announces that all the
Speaker 2: doors have now been locked were shut in. No one
Speaker 2: will be coming in or going out whilst the fights
Speaker 2: are taking place. It's kind of ominous, but it also
Speaker 2: makes sense in regard to security. There's a ton of
Speaker 2: criminals in here, including biker gangs, drug dealers, hooligans, and
Speaker 2: street fighters. Not to mention the illegal underground fighting taking place.
Speaker 2: You want as few people messing around outside as possible
Speaker 2: in case police drive by and check what's going on.
Speaker 3: It's packing here.
Speaker 2: The whole crowd is going wild. People grab hold of
Speaker 2: the Herris fencing and rattle it non stop. It sounds
Speaker 2: like thunder. The energy here is a lot different to FPVS.
Speaker 2: I think the crowd here is more dangerous than the fighters.
Speaker 2: Every creed, color, and orientation of criminals is here. There
Speaker 2: were big dogs on big chains, two men in balaclavas,
Speaker 2: and women with their partners names tattooed across one side
Speaker 2: of their forehead. This is the underworld. People here have
Speaker 2: chosen to live outside of society, for better or worse.
Speaker 2: The first fighters approach the fenced off area, two lads
Speaker 2: in their twenties lightweight.
Speaker 3: The fight is unremarkable, honestly.
Speaker 2: To well win the wind milling hooks that mostly miss
Speaker 2: lasts about two minutes. But then after that fight comes Bash.
Speaker 2: The fence parts. Lavvy strides in. Bash follows, Underdog follows.
Speaker 2: The latter is a local lad and clearly a crowd favorite.
Speaker 2: Group of around a dozen young men in tracksuit some
Speaker 2: bandanas pulled up to their eyes, goes crazy for him.
Speaker 2: One of them next to me grabs me in excitement,
Speaker 2: jumps up and down. They cannot wait. Underdog looks ready.
Speaker 2: Bash is honestly looking a little worse for wear. The
Speaker 2: confidence he walked with when I first saw him fighting
Speaker 2: Hastings is gone. If anything, he looks a little weary.
Speaker 2: He keeps touching his face and saying fucking hell under
Speaker 2: his breath as he enters the makeshift arena. For all
Speaker 2: his faults. I like Bash, honestly, I want to see
Speaker 2: him win. On the run up to the fight, he
Speaker 2: was saying online that he's planning to bite off Underdog's ears.
Speaker 2: That energy door it seems long gone. He's holding himself
Speaker 2: in a way that says he just wants to get
Speaker 2: this over with. Underdog, The younger man, by at least
Speaker 2: a decade, is still full of beans ready to go.
Speaker 3: The two fighters meet in the middle.
Speaker 2: Bash pushes forward, hands down and throws a very badly
Speaker 2: timed kick. Underdog catches it with his shin and Bash
Speaker 2: instantly goes down, falling over himself, hitting the concrete. Underdog
Speaker 2: kicks it in wildly, mostly missing, sometimes kicking Bash's legs
Speaker 2: as he spins around on his back trying to find
Speaker 2: some kind of way to get up. Underdog leans over,
Speaker 2: Bash punches him in the head a few times, and
Speaker 2: then toe punts him straight in the face. Bash's head
Speaker 2: snaps back a bit and he's knocked out. Kind of
Speaker 2: Lavvy moves in and ends the fight. Bash remains unconscious
Speaker 2: on the floor or something like that. Honestly, from here,
Speaker 2: it looks to me as if Bash is just pretending
Speaker 2: to be Kaot.
Speaker 3: It's weird.
Speaker 2: Lavvy and a woman with a bandana covering her face
Speaker 2: dragged Bash out by his arms with his head slumped
Speaker 2: and eyes.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I don't want to speculate too much, but something seems
Speaker 2: fishy about this. Okay, Bash has taken a ton of
Speaker 2: losses and no rules, but this just felt way too easy.
Speaker 2: I'm not convinced he was actually knocked out. Underdog, though,
Speaker 2: is jumping around, running to each part of the fence
Speaker 2: and celebrating as if he just beat Mike Tyson in
Speaker 2: one round. It all feels a bit strange to me,
Speaker 2: but either way, the crowd is going insane. Their boy
Speaker 2: has won in less than a minute against a quote
Speaker 2: unquote no rules legend.
Speaker 3: I don't know, it feels weird.
Speaker 2: After a brief interlude, the first female fight of the
Speaker 2: night begins. Agro Terror steps through the crowd. She looks
Speaker 2: nervous but poised. Her competitor, a woman named Hattie, is
Speaker 2: also now making her way to the circle. She's about
Speaker 2: a foot shorter than Agro Terror. She's Kirby Compact and
Speaker 2: has a dark hair tied up in a ponytail. Her
Speaker 2: hands are partially wrapped with tape, and for some reason,
Speaker 2: so are her feet. She's wearing no shoes or socks,
Speaker 2: which is unusual. Hattie looks completely out of her debt.
Speaker 2: I'm unsure if she even fully understands what's about to happen.
Speaker 2: She walks by me and stands there looking into the fencing.
Speaker 2: She catches my eye for a second, and I don't
Speaker 2: know what to even say, so I just smile and
Speaker 2: nod and I say good luck, You'll be fine, idiot.
Speaker 2: Hatti steps through the fencing. She's first inside. I wrote Terror,
Speaker 2: followed shortly after Labby talks up the fight.
Speaker 1: She come to cant to night hair.
Speaker 4: I'll don't try complain that.
Speaker 3: And it all begins.
Speaker 2: Immediately, I wrote Terror lands a low kick followed by
Speaker 2: a swift jab straight.
Speaker 3: Into Hattie's jaw.
Speaker 2: Her head whips back and she has the look of
Speaker 2: someone who's never been hit before in her life. She
Speaker 2: seems dazed and shocked, but only for a moment. Quickly,
Speaker 2: Hatti reaches out and grabs agro Terra by the scruff
Speaker 2: of her neck. After some grappling, the two end up
Speaker 2: scrabbling on the concrete. Hatti manages to flip herself over
Speaker 2: and as Agrotera locks her arms.
Speaker 3: She literally lifts her up fully off of the floor.
Speaker 2: Turns out Hattie as strong as fuck. She repositions herself
Speaker 2: and tries to lock agro Terror's arm. Hatti falls back, though,
Speaker 2: and in the struggle for dominance, she ends up laid
Speaker 2: out on her front. Agro Terra seizes the opportunity, jumps
Speaker 2: up and begins punching Hatti in the side of her
Speaker 2: head from behind. Flabby quickly runs in and ends it.
Speaker 2: Patti lost, but only just.
Speaker 3: It was not the blood barb I thought it might be.
Speaker 2: I dare say with some training and experience, Hatti would
Speaker 2: have plowed through a ro terror easily. The two women
Speaker 2: are relatively unscathed. They held each other and both celebrate
Speaker 2: their achievement. The first female no rules underground fight. The
Speaker 2: crowd loves it. The second women's fight goes quick. The
Speaker 2: short woman with the leopard print face tattoos I spoke
Speaker 2: about earlier is named Miry. She fights a woman named Dilek,
Speaker 2: who is much bigger than her. Miry starts to fight
Speaker 2: off like a rocket, kicking, punching, grabbing, hair pulling completely
Speaker 2: non stop until Lavy breaks up the fight quickly. Her
Speaker 2: competitor had no clue what she was doing. The frontier
Speaker 2: fights were pretty energetic, concertainly wild in their own way.
Speaker 2: By a feeling, some easy opponents were picked out for
Speaker 2: favored fighters. Something just didn't see it right with me.
Speaker 2: The whole way things were off. When I get back
Speaker 2: to England, I get a text from Joey, remember the
Speaker 2: up and coming Welsh street fighter from episode one. Joey
Speaker 2: has news. He's seemingly ecstatic. I give him a call
Speaker 2: and he's bouncing off the walls even more than usual.
Speaker 2: All of his dreams have come true.
Speaker 3: Somehow.
Speaker 2: Joey has been invited to fight on the number one
Speaker 2: No Rules fight club in the world, the most notorious,
Speaker 2: the most hardcore, the most exclusive, king of the streets.
Speaker 2: We'll see more of Joey in the next episode. The
Speaker 2: final part of No Rules is No Rules. You've been
Speaker 2: listening to the Away Days podcast Next week episode four.
