Eli Black - 5'6, 135 lbs Lean Eli savagely wrecks the larger stud with a camel clutch Austin brings his muscle to bear as he strangles the punk across the bottom rope Coop's brutal reverse bearhug wrenches a cry from the lean MMA fighter Eli in agony across his foe's shoulders in a rib-popping torture rack Eli perches and fires fist after deadly fist into the fallen goldenboy's formidable midsection
The Biggest Surprise vs the Smallest Opponent
When Austin Cooper chose Eli Black for his third opponent, we wondered if the wannabe heel was feeling the slightest bit unsure of himself after his last two opponents. After pushing his muscled bod to the limit vs big Lane, then suffering at the feet of the King, it is not surprising he might want a scrappy street punk half his size to beat on.
But the interest may go deeper. As the taut, lithe little MMA stud jabs the air menacingly, Cooper wonders aloud, "That how you beat that little Jake Jenkins?" Eli smiles back: "Oh yea, I remember him... old news." It seems Austin really has been keeping an eye on Eli. At only 135 pounds, the ripped, lightweight Eli Black has fought as the underdog in nearly every match of his life, and while he hasn't always come out on top, this hardcore MMA competitor has been honing his skills and recently turned even hunks like Rio Garza and Z-Man into veritable punching bags. Has Austin always wanted to test his now-towering physique and chiseled muscle against the sexy scrapper, or is this just a chance for taking out his growing frustrations?
Ripped is the key word here as each fighter bursts into action, each demonstrating a distinct version of male definition. Being smaller in bulk has its advantages though, and slippery Eli easily twists out of Austin's holds, and in minutes Austin finds himself flipped onto his back by the bantamweight! Pro wrestling meets MMA striking and grappling in this duel of strength, skill, and stamina. Austin uses his size and muscle to devastating effect, and Eli suffers and screams in bear hugs, figure-four leg locks, camel clutches, and Boston crabs.
As often as he suffers though, the little guy makes a miraculous escape, snaking his way out of holds and even reversing them. Austin's body is worn down by crotch-splitting cradles and shoulder-popping armlocks, and every time he tries to make his way to his feet there is another kick hammering into his hamstring or a neat jab to clip his chin, rattle his brain, and bring back haunting memories of being steamrolled by Kelly King.
Eli matches Austin's stomps with rapid fire ab shots, he escapes from full nelsons and headlocks and applies ever more creative chokes to drain the big man's stamina. Submissions are practically strangled from both fighters, as each ripped bod is tied up in the ropes or racked across his opponent's back. Austin takes endless sharp blows but the big man's bigger muscles take their toll on Eli, who has to struggle to stand and is dragged up and pressed clear over Austin's head for a finish.
Will little Eli be slammed down 6 feet to the mat for a crushing defeat? Will he have anything left to stop Cooper from finishing the job and securing his final victory? Can he turn this around, can he pull off one last miraculous reversal and perhaps leave a renewed Austin Cooper defeated, humbled, and humiliated in what should have been his crowning achievement? This ending is as devastating as it is decisive, when the winner stands tall, there is no doubt he is standing over a broken man.
