The match started with the two fighters locking hands in a test of strength from which they moved quickly to a double headlock. The fight moved around room with Leonie repeatedly trying unsuccessfully to take Vanessa to the mat. Eventually Leonie managed to get Vanessa down, but English fighter fought back by locking her legs round Leonie in a defensive bodyscissors. Leonie broke Vanessa’s scissors by getting to her feet which caused Vanessa drop off to the mat, as she did so Leonie covered her and skilfully manoeuvred the Belgian into a reverse bodyscissors.

The second session started with another test of strength from which Leonie broke free to apply a standing headlock on Vanessa. Leonie tried to wrestle the British fighter to the mat, but she stubbornly resisted and managed to get her own headlock on the Belgian. The fight moved to the mat where Leonie locked a bodyscissors on her opponent, but this time Vanessa quickly broke free and both fighters returned to their feet.
Leonie attacked again and manoeuvred Vanessa into another headlock. For over a minute the Belgian fighter tried to wrestle Vanessa to the mat, but the British girl resisted doggedly as the action moved across the apartment from one wall to another. Finally Leonie changed tactics, she moved behind Vanessa and leap onto the British girl’s back to take her to the mat in a bodyscissors.
As Leonie tightened the bodyscissors she also wrapped her right arm across Vanessa’s neck in a slack choke hold. The referee moved in to tell Leonie to remove the choke, but surprisingly Vanessa said “No.. No..No..”. The ref stood back as Leonie held Vanessa trapped in her combination of scissors and loose choke.
