Before Part I, there was this.
Matt Larsen and I on the same mat for the first time. Muscular, strong, and focused, and I couldn’t stop looking. We were supposed to be warming up, but every stretch was really about sizing each other up. A hold that lasted a little too long.
A look that said more than it should.
By the end we’re on our knees, forehead to forehead, hands locked, neither of us ready to give an inch. No tap yet. No winner yet. Just eight minutes of muscle, sweat, and a tension we both knew wasn’t going to stay on the mat.
The prequel to our Real Submission Match (Part I) and Post-Match Sex (Part II). You’ve seen how it ended. Now see how it started.
