Rhonda made her way to the Olympic octagon in a sizable arena that was filled up to capacity. The popularity of the MMA in the Olympics had exceeded expectations greatly. The crowd still loved her, and she loved them. The screams and applause when her name was announced were deafening. She went to the middle of the octagon for the referee to talk to them about the rules for the fight. Rhonda locked eyes with Natalya. She didnât look away, but she could see Nataylaâs fire in her eyes. Rhonda knew she was in for a tough fight. Natalya didnât tap gloves, which made the crowd erupt in âoohsâ and âahhs.â Rhonda always got pissed when her opponent didnât tap gloves. It was a clear sign of disrespect and was meant to get under her skin. It was working. The bell rang and both fighters approached each other in the center of the cage. They locked eyes and just stared each other down for a few moments. Out of Rhondaâs peripheral vision, she caught sight of a peculiar tattoo on Natalyaâs bicep. She glanced to determine what it was, and her stomach dropped. It was a Gray Wolf tattoo. She was certain of it. Natalya confirmed her suspicions when she said, âYep the Grey Wolves wanted to send you their love.â
A quick flurry of light jabs and a left hook toward Rhonda followed the statement. She avoided contact with most of the strikes, but one grazed her over her left eye. Rhonda found an opening after Nataylaâs sloppy attack with a hefty kick to her thigh, causing the Russian to stumble slightly. Rhonda spun clockwise and hit her opponent with the back of her right fist. She made solid contact with the side of her head. Rhonda performed a side kick that missed the mark. Natalya made her pay with a solid haymaker to the face. The impact caused Rhonda to fall against the cage. Rhonda had learned how to take a punch over her brief career. She shook her head and moved forward toward the approaching Russian. Rhonda went after the Russianâs legs for a takedown attempt. She had telegraphed the move, and Natalyaâs knee was waiting for her. The Russianâs knee smashed into Rhondaâs nose causing it to shatter and creating a blood waterfall from her nose. The strength of the knee contact and Rhondaâs forward momentum was devastating. Rhonda laid on the mat stiff as a board, out cold as a puddle of blood pooled on the mat under her head. Rhonda had a severely broken nose and a severe concussion. She could not stand on the podium to receive her bronze medal because she had to stay in the hospital for two days. She was a mess from the brutality of the finish, but she was more distraught from the fact that her brother had not called to check on her. It was not like him. She called several times before the phone was answered.
