Maria, 18, CrossFit practitioner, VS James, 23, soccer player

María, a cross-fit enthusiast, faces the athletic footballer James in their respective debut matches.
Maria gives up 8 inches and almost 40 pounds to her larger male opponent, but her legs are pure muscle to complement her high level of endurance and surprising quickness.
James was thought to have the size and quickness advantage due to his soccer background, but Maria put the rest of the league on alert that she could be the fastest fighter to date.
James laughed when he learned that his first opponent would be the short Maria. Although he acknowledged that she was strong (\"for a girl\") due to her cross-fit training, he had no doubt that he could surpass her.
Instead, James found himself exhausting himself again and again trying to get out of Maria's tight, powerful leg grips. And once out of the grip, he had to contend with Maria's strength, stamina, and incredible quickness.
In five full rounds of action, Maria never takes a second of rest. She is relentless in her first match as she showcases her incredible leg strength and grip power.
