g her arms and legs (mutual scissor hold). She says in the concluding interview that she was gauging Franz’s strength and skill level in the beginning, and once she knew he can’t finish her, she controlled the match and dominated him. That’s exactly what happens. Anika is simply too strong and experienced for her male opponent. When Tim Franz tries to pull guard again, Anika pushes her weight on his hips while pulling his head towards her at the same time, making him tap. Thus we see the first “can opener” submission at Fight Pulse. Anika proceeds to dominate the match, scoring points with creative pins and submissions, proving that she is way above Franz’s level on the mats. Anika caps off her win with an assertive victory pose after which, in her signature manner, she lifts her male victim up and carries him out of the arena. END OF SPOILER SECTION

Will he be the first male to win a round against her? Or maybe even the whole match?

SPOILER SECTION Not really. Anika overpowers her way out of the hold using her arms and legs (mutual scissor hold). She says in the
