Remember when The Beatles did that one concert on the rooftop? This is kind of like the Lingerie Fighting Championships version of that. The last event was outdoors on Fremont Street at the Neonopolis in Las Vegas. This one is on top of a Vegas strip club. Because the match is surprisingly poorly attended, there isn’t much energy coming from the crowd. That’s not really a criticism, but more of an observation. This viewer, however, was riveted from start to finish.
This entry is subtitled “Sindependence Day” because it took place on July 4th, and appropriately, there are fireworks both inside and outside the ring. When newcomer Shay Golden fails to appear for her bout with Gypsy “Top Shelf” Bae, the European Champ Jolene “The Valkyrie” Hexx hops in the ring to take her place wearing Stars and Stripes pasties, a G-string, and nothing else. Next up is Agatha “Cannibal” Carter fighting dirty in order to prevail over Bella Ink. Tomiko “The Temptress” Tajima takes on Sybil Starr in the next bout. That match is followed by Lauren “The Animal” Fogle going against Jessie “El Toro” Santos. Finally, we have the main event, a title fight for the vacant LFC Championship between Shay “The Fox” Mazzato and Monica “Flowerbomb” Garcia.
There are a lot of highlights here. Too many, in fact, to catalogue properly. Hexx annihilates her opponent, which to be fair, she wasn’t remotely prepared for. During my brief time watching the sport, Jolene has rapidly become my favorite fighter, and her outfit here has to be one of the most patriotic get-ups of all time. It is also quite possibly my favorite ring attire of any athlete ever. Ink looks quite ravishing as well in her equally patriotic (although not quite as revealing) American flag brassiere. Garcia is also no slouch as she turns heads in her dominatrix outfit.
We also have Cannibal Carter living up to her name while taking a bite out of Bella Ink. Tajima’s fight memorably starts with her handing opposing Coach Leon Hater a restraining order forbidding him to remain ringside to help out her opponent. Fogle/Santos is an entertaining mix of sheer physicality, fortitude, and playful post-fight antics as their in-ring chemistry leads to some unexpected sexual tension.
The main event is everything you could hope for from a title match. There’s great grappling work, huge body shots, controversial referee decisions, corners erupting in chaos, and weaves being ripped out. In short, Sindependence Day made me proud to be an American.
