Fiona was up on her feet in time to react, quickly dodging to her right and seizing Shin's left arm against by the wrist. She twisted and used her opponent's momentum against her, pulling Shin to the mat face down. With both hands pinning that left arm down away from her side and vulnerable, Fiona hoisted herself into a handstand before dropping a knee down on her above the elbow, pounding the arm.

"This is nice stuff from Fiona early here," Rhonda commented. "She seems like she came prepared tonight."

Fiona tried to transition into an armbar, rolling onto her back and trying to pull Shin's extended left arm up off the mat, but she couldn't quite keep her pinned beneath, as Shin was able to flip over and nearly roll Fiona up. She gave up on the attempt, getting to her feet and still maintaining that hold on Shin's hand and wrist, keeping her left arm locked straight and twisted painfully. Pulling her forward suddenly, Fiona lashed out with an elbow strike to her rival's temple, knowing she'd need to keep her stunned and mix up her offense if she wanted to keep damaging that arm.

"Fiona's bringing Shin Choon-hee to the ropes now, what's she got in mind...?" asked Dan Rich.

After reaching the ropes, pulling Shin along by the arm, Fiona stepped up to the middle rope near the corner before hopping back down into the ring and switching sides with Shin. She let gravity assist her as she tried to pull Shin down for an arm drag throw back into the middle of the ring.
