A Pro Battle for the Ages hits the UFC

This one was downright crazy.

"Barb Wire" Foerstel got in early, as usual. She had taken the week off to walk a marathon and for last minute body building/battle training and was surprised to see Kate "El Conquistador" Ranzini nursing a wounded knee and ankle. (Sources could not confirm or deny Foerstel's role in Ranzini's 'accident'). Foerstel immediately went to work on the wounded leg - putting Ranzini into the Hungarian Pretzel position so that she could work the leg in painful shifts of direction. Foerstel romped to an early 4-0 lead.

Ranzini lurched free with one angry swoop (and a head but that was nearly lethal thanks to that wireless headset). The two were locked in a face off, with Foerstel maintaining a 4-2 lead.

Both of these women have the potential to advance through the bracket, as both have experience dealing with adversity. And what happened next is tough to describe. It was like something out of a Super Hero cartoon -- Foerstel picked up the copier and heaved it at Ranzini who actually caught it in mid air, did a 180 turn, pulled out a stack of paper from one of the drawers, and whacked Barb with it -- giving her the paper cut of the century and notting the score up at 10-10.

The commotion got the sudden attention of Ted Sizemore, who appeared quickly to see what the commotion was, wacked both ladies in the head with his curling iron, and exited the room.

Foerstel was stunned at the occurance, but Ranzini was not -- she used the distraction as the ultimate opportunity to seize victory - giving five consecutive thunderclaps to the head and running away with a 15-10-1 victory over Foerstel and Sizemore.

Ranzini advances to meet Dennis "Bat Man" Turner in the next round.
