The classic head-to-head contest is back! And, for the fist time ever, in a 1 vs 1 mixed format!

Gloria ( stats ) and Frank ( stats ) square off to compare their strength and athleticism in a series of challenges, the standard H2H format, with the winner of each performing a victory pose over the loser, in a real, competitive setting.

Gloria vs Frank is one of the most underrated rivalries at Fight Pulse. The two have met thrice on the mats in standard matches prior to this, with Frank winning the first two encounters and Gloria winning the third, with the total score between the two being 15 rounds for Frank to 13 rounds for Gloria.

Note: unfortunately, we botched the ending of the contest, miscalculated the score and gave the victory to the loser. A great injustice. But one that is fixable.

Barring that this is fantastic, real competition between a powerful woman and a smaller, but athletic guy.
