In Private Battle 16, we sent Marcel and Jermaine onto the mat for a test of strength. We already know that Jermaine is a skilled fighter - he has proven that in his previous matches. And Marcel’s abilities are no secret either.

However, several years have passed since Marcel’s last fight. Does he still have enough power and the necessary bite? We were curious to find out.

From the very first seconds, the encounter promises an intense and grueling contest. Both fighters are evenly matched, give each other no quarter, and leave little room for mistakes.

Right at the start, Marcel proves he still has what it takes - and how! With his powerful thighs, he traps Jermaine in a crushing bodyscissor, squeezing the air out of him.

Marcel is quick, fights smart, and never even thinks about giving up, even when things get dangerous for him. In the first half of the match, he appears to be the dominant one.

He keeps Jermaine under control. Jermaine, in turn, tries everything to break free - pulling at Marcel’s gear, even resorting to ballgrabs - but it seems hopeless. Marcel refuses to let go.

Only in the second half, after Jermaine realizes he needs to step up his power to match Marcel, does the tide begin to turn. With a series of strong actions, Jermaine starts to score points.

Until the very last minute, it remains a thrilling, exhausting submission fight
