Bobbi Figueroa and Aurelia Delrossi are a pair of blue belts who managed to put on one of the most entertaining matches of the night back at Hammer Challenge Series 14. The promotion put together an all-female card for their fourteenth event and there was plenty of action throughout the card, including the crowning of their first female champion. It was top competitor Sophia Cassella who won the 125lbs grand prix and took home the title, but there was quite a few fun matches taking place before that fantastic end to the event. This battle between Figueroa and Delrossi was one of them, as both women gave it everything they had to come away with the win.
Both of them had their fair share of submission attempts and although neither of them could secure the finish in regulation time, It was still an exciting match regardless. That’s when Figueroa and Delrossi went to a modified version of EBI overtime in order to decide a winner, and the tension shot up even further. Figueroa was attacking first and she was able to lock up a rear-naked choke at around a minute, but Delrossi returned the favor even quicker when it was her turn. This led to a second round of overtime where they raced to achieve a dominant position first and with just 2 seconds left in the match, Figueroa was able to secure back control to win the match.
