Description: In their first fight after Mr. Big miraculously beat Sagat in their first fight, another Mr. Big win seems immanent before the excited crowd gathered in front of the Casa da Musica concert hall in Porto, Portugal. (Draw Match)
Portugal is where it is at tonight. The smaller nation of Iberia has been called to host one of the next matches of the World Warrior Tournament. A momumental bout between Sagat, Thailand's Muay Thai God, and Mr. Big... Southtown's... uhhh... Mr. Big! A section of space outside Portugal's Casa da Musica concert hall in Porto. This locale is used to playing host to a wide array of various events. So it is no wonder that this World Warrior event was eagerly and expertly organized. The crowd has gathered, water and medics are set up for after the fight. All is ready except for the fighters. The Announcer will shout over the crowd, "And for tonight's main event! Coming all the way from Southeast Asia to show us his skill in Muay Thai Kickboxing, The former Emperor of Muay Thai, Sagat!" With the announcement of his name, Sagat will make his way to the sectioned off ring. Once inside, he will simply begin tightening the wrappings around his forearms.
Flashbulbs flash and cameras click as a stretch Escalade limo pulls up alongside the temporary ring setup outside the oddly angular building that is the Casa da Musica concert hall. The driver, a svelte Japanese man in a chauffeur's cap and coat exits the limo and flows over to the rear door of the limo, opening it smoothly. There is the briefest of pauses before a long, shapely female leg reaches from the depths of the limo and the skinny blonde woman it belongs to steps out onto the ground next to the ring. Three more elegantly dressed women exit the limo, a redhead, brunette, and a raven haired beauty, all giggling slightly and wide-eyed at the crowd, drunk on fame and alcohol.
Standing off to either side of the limo, the women pose and wave for the paparazzi as the lubricious Mr. Big exits from the Escalade and spreads his arms widely, an equally huge grin on his lips as he drinks in the attention. The girls coo and squeal as Mr. Big presents himself, gathering around him and planting kisses on his cheeks and rubbing up against him for 'good luck'. Dressed in a bright white silk vest worn over an equally white shirt and slacks, the Diamond Don is shining even brighter than usually on this special day, this Second Round bout in the World Warrior Tournament.
Taking a few steps towards the ring, Mr. Big pauses for a moment as if suddenly remembering something. Snapping his fingers in recollection, Mr. Big trots a couple of steps back to the limo and pulls a large overcoat from within. "Almost forgot this," he says to no one in particular as he slings it over his shoulder and walks into the ring. "So we meet again..." Mr. Big says with a slight smirk to his once-bested opponent as his name is announced. "..does this look familiar?" he asks with a grin as he poses with the overcoat that he took from the Muay Thai fighter after knocking him out. "I brought it for luck. Not that I'll need it, but a little extra credit never helps, you know?" Chuckling softly, Mr. Big tosses the coat to his posse of women and slips his trademark batons from his waistband, this pair as shiny and white as the rest of his ensemble. "Come and get some," he taunts Sagat as he motions towards his own chest with the weapons and assumes his en garde stance.

The Mighty Thai Fighter will stand there as the Escalade pulls up to the Casa da Musica. His uni-eyed gaze only lifting from his forearms to make sure that his opponent was here. The gaze returns to his forearms and stays there up until the point the Diamond Don has spoken to him. Sagat raises his gaze up from his forearms and regards the well dressed man. His eye darts down to his former overcoat before watching it fly towards the posse of girls. Sagat lets out an amused grunt, "If luck is what you need to believe in, you're not going to win the World Warrior." comments the former host of this tournament. With the wrappings around his forearm sufficiently tightened, Sagat drops into his fighting stance. He raises up onto the balls of his feet and bends his long powerful legs at their knees. His fists raise and hover in front of Sagat's weathered face. The Thai Tiger will narrow his eye at Biggie, "You offer is accepted." With that said, the bout begins! Sagat rushes forward out of his stance and towards his World Warrior opponent. Nothing too grand, nothing too flashy, Sagat will rush for Mr. Big and twist his body at the waist. He will send one of his powerful legs careening through the air towards the other's upper torso.

Mr.Big 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Sagat
Bending slightly at the waist and bringing his lower baton up and across his body towards his chin, Mr. Big takes the brunt of the force of the kick on his forearm and biceps with a soft grunt. "Get some!" Mr. Big grunts as he reaches over with his other arm and attempts to wrap it over Sagat's lower leg and foot, trying to lock the offered appendage in his grasp. If he's able to get a good hold on Sagat's leg, the Chrome Dome Don will spin on one foot and dragging Sagat up and over to slam him on the ground behind them with a powerful take-down.

Mr.Big 0/-------/------=|===----\-------\0 Sagat
The Thai Tiger meets too much resistance from his kick. Instead of soft flesh or the firm crack of Biggie's shoulder or elbow, Sagat feels his leg slamming against the baton that Biggie used to block his blow with. The Thai Fighter will pull his leg back and brace himself... though his leg gets caught by the Diamond Don. Game plans run through the Muay Thai Master's head as he is hefted, dragged and slammed down. Sagat isn't down long though. Sagat will quickly pull his legs up under him and the Thai Tiger will be on his feet in a moment. And a moment more is how long Sagat remains in this position. Sagat's legs tense up and the Thai will spring forward and upwards, "TI-GER UPP-ER-CUT!" His fist is shoved upwards as his whole body ascends into the air, attempting to catch Biggie with his powerful signature manuever.

Mr. Big isn't given much time to be pleased with slamming Sagat into the ground, as the wrapped fist connects with his chin solidly and carries the Platinum Player soaring up and backwards across the ring, where he slides to a stop on his back. "Nnngh..." Mr. Big groans as he pushes himself up on one arm. Wiping the thin trail of blood running down his chin before more than a couple faint splatters of the red liquid can fall on his white vest; the Southtown Syndicate Lieutenant pushes himself up to his feet and drops his batons down to his sides. "I'm gunna make you pay for that, you peanut-eatin bitch," Mr. Big growls as he spits some more blood onto the ring floor. His knuckles turning white as he grips his batons tightly, the Glittering Sultan of Southtown's eyes seem to glow faintly from behind his dark sunglasses, though that might just be a trick of the light, or a reflection of flashbulbs trying to capture the action as the two fighters stand each other down. His breathing heavy with growing adrenaline, Mr. Big simply stares at the Muay Thai fighter as he focuses his rage.
COMBATSYS: Mr.Big gathers his will.

Mr.Big 1/------=/=======|====---\-------\0 Sagat
Sagat will land and narrow his eye at the Diamond Don. Once he's on the ground, he will return to his fighting stance. As Biggie begins to speak, Sagat begins to move! If the Tiger's opponent is going to stand there and chat, Sagat will do what he came here to do; Fight. The Thai Tiger will rush for the Diamond Don, hoping to not give Big the time he needs to do whatever he plans on doing. Sagat will cross the space between them in just a few strides. When he's in striking distance he will lash out with a jabbing punch. Sagat will continue to step forward however and perform a second strike; a swinging elbow strike towards Biggie's face.

Mr.Big 0/-------/=======|=======\-------\1 Sagat
His chest heaving has Sagat rushes in on him; Mr. Big waits for the former Emperor to bring himself within striking distance before erupting into motion. "DOUBLE GROUND BLASTER!" Mr. Big bellows as Sagat's jab punch flies towards him. Sweeping his right baton up toward's Sagat's face, the weapon misses his head harmlessly, but the large plume of fiery orange chi following in the baton's wake does not. Sagat's fist glances off of Mr. Big's chest harmlessly as the blast of chi takes the wind out of it's sail, leaving a small smudge of blood on his pearly white vest that was left on the Thai's handwraps when he first uppercuted the gangster. The elbow strike never gets a chance to be delivered as Mr. Big takes a pivot step forward and follows up his first blast of chi with another from the baton in his left hand, keeping on the pressure as he drives Sagat back with the force of his blast. "Dammit," Mr. Big mutters in annoyance as he dabs at the blood on his vest with one of his knuckles.
Those are not results that Sagat had hoped for. Oh no. Sagat had intended to pound Biggie's face just a bit more. The jabbing punch was to soften the Diamond Don's face. Then the elbow strike was meant to really make him stagger! Now Biggie's done and ruined the plan. The Double Ground Blaster is thrown Sagat's way. The eruptions of power sends Sagat backwards, pretty much reversing the wind in Sagat's sails. The Thai Tiger will hit the ground on his back, but eventually roll backwards and onto his feet. Sagat will stand there and narrow his eye at the Gangster. Perhaps Sagat needs to rethink his plan, eh? He stands there in his fighting stance, muscles tensing and fists clenching.
COMBATSYS: Sagat gathers his will.

Mr. Big says, "Heheh. Yeah, what now, huh?" Mr. Big asks with a smarmy smirk as he dances forward a couple of steps as he swipes his batons powerfully, the speed of his strikes humming through the air as he shows off to the crowd. "Don't bring that pussy Tae Bo shit in MY house. Psh. Emperor of Muay Thai. Ain't nothing special about being the king of the BITCHES."
COMBATSYS: Mr.Big focuses on his next action.

Mr.Big 0/-------/=======|=======\====---\1 Sagat
Sagat will glare towards Biggie and his theatrics. The Muay Thai Tiger will unclench a fist, shift his weight and point at Mr. Big, "You've got a little blood on your shirt there. Really should wear appropriate fighting attire." Then he's off. Was that Sagat's attempt at trash talk? Perhaps... he's not a talker while in a fight anyways. The Thai Tiger is a fighter during a fight! Sagat will rush for Biggie, "TIGER-" He says as he runs. He will leap into the air and tuck his legs up underneath him. A powerful knee is thrust forward, "-CRUSH!" He will say before the usual point of impact!

Mr.Big 1/------=/=======|=======\=====--\1 Sagat
The knee striking him solidly and causing him to gasp as he stumbles back a few steps, Mr. Big doesn't take any time to trashtalk this time. Taking a couple of steps forward, the Diamond Don swipes at the tall man's chest with his right hand baton, then takes another follow through step and lunges at Sagat's throat with the baton in his left hand. Usually this favorite combo would go jaw, then nose, but Sagat's over a foot taller than Mr. Big! Oh well, it should still be pretty effective, should that second adam's apple strike connect.

Mr.Big 1/------=/=======|=======\=====--\1 Sagat
The Mighty Thai does not need batons to help deflect the blow of his opponent's weapons. No. The batons hit the solid defenses of Sagat's arms. A forearm is raised and successfully block the incoming baton strikes. His forearms absorb the blows well, but they will be smarting a little later when all the adrenaline has subsided. However the adrenaline has not subsided! So Sagat presses on. he will attempt to shove his knee up into his opponent's midsection, only to double the man over. What Sagat aims to do is then grab onto Biggie and then shove him down to the ground!

Gritting his teeth as the knee flies at his midsection, it's all Mr. Big can to do raise his baton and fire off another blast of chi that washes over Sagat painfully even as his knee crashes into the Pimpcane Padrino's gut and briefly forces the air from his lungs. No shouting Double Ground Blaster this time. Fortunately, that's not required for the technique. Mr. Big just likes to people to know what to call the pain they're feeling. Gasping in air as he pivots and sends another burst of chi exploding out of the ground at their feet, Mr. Big sends Sagat packing once more, hopefully buying him enough time to catch his breath.
Biggie and that Double Ground Blaster! Sagat has felt or dealt with this technique a number of times by now, as it seems to be a favorite of the Gangster's. The Thai Tiger will be washed by the chi energy and again, Sagat's sails have the wind blown from them. Sagat hits the ground hard, Again! He's slow to begin moving... but once he does move he's as swift as ever. He's pushing the pain aside and trying his best to deal with it at another time. Sagat, once on his feet, will rush Mr. Big. He will attempt tackle Biggie around his waist. If he manages to get a hold, Sagat will leap into the air and then hurl the Southtown Gangster down to the ground!

Mr.Big 0/-------/------=|>>>>>>>\>>>>>>>\2 Sagat
Yes, Double Ground Blaster holds a special place in Mr. Big's heart. Fortunately though, that is far from his only technique. His eyebrows knitting together above dark shades, Mr. Big waits with restrained patience as Sagat begins to rush towards him. His batons held casually at his side, Southtowns Favorite Son remains motionless as the much larger man bears down on him.
Curiously though, moments before Sagat is in range of tackling Mr. Big around the waist, the tips of the batons in Mr. Big's hands begin to glow with electricity and a thick arc of energy springs to life between the weapons as Mr. Big begins to raise them aloft, the rope of electricity dancing between the batons like some sort of contraption in Frankenstein's lab. Thrusting the arc at Sagat's head as the Thai man reaches for Big's waist, there is a curious quiet as the electricity makes contact with the other man's bald head. The silence is quickly broken as a huge thunderclap of electrical energy detonates and throws Sagat harmlessly aside from Mr. Big, who stands panting slightly from the exertion, but is otherwise no worse for wear.
Everything is unclear for Sagat. He wanted to heft Big up into the air and slam him into the ground below. But the next thing that Sagat seems to know is that he's down on the ground, gaze facing the Portuguese sky above. Sagat's ears are ringing, blood is running from his nose and his ears. Confusion and anger start to overwhelm the Thai Fighter. Sagat will slowly lurch to the side and get up to his feet. His stance is staggered and when he walks? His gait wavers. Sagat is no longer sure on his feet and it seems the technique has both damaged Sagat's body as well as his concentration and balance. This doesn't keep the angry Thai from pushing forward though. Oh no. He will step forward, pushing his body further than it should be pushed. The Thai will leap into the air and perform a Tiger Crush technique. Sagat appears tired and sluggish, but his teeth grit and there's firey in his eye as he's determined not to go down. He disorientation of not knowing how he hit the ground is infuriating the Thai Tiger. After the Tiger Crush he will scream, though he will not hear it himself. As he screams he will lurch forward and upwards and perform a Tiger Uppercut... followed by a second Tiger Uppercut if he lands the first! Though... after landing... Sagat's legs collapse underneath him.
COMBATSYS: Sagat can no longer fight.

"Hah! Getting back up? Get it through your skull, you're beat, punk." Snorting as Sagat lurches toward him like a drunken sailor, Mr. Big casually raises his baton to ward off the Thai's last pathetic attempt. "I'm just plain BETTER than you. When will you realize that?" Mr. Big asks as the knee flies towards him, hitting his batons and forcing him to take a step back. A step that suddenly seems in slow motion as Mr. Big's fine Italian shoe steps in a small puddle of blood and slips on the stonework under his feet. "Shiii-" Mr. Big gasps as he loses his balance and catches a Tiger Uppercut on the jaw that sends him flying into the air, quickly followed by another that juggles him higher and throws him a good distance backwards to the surprised gasps of the crowd and the moans and wails of Mr. Big's girlfriends when the gangster doesn't rise.
COMBATSYS: Mr.Big takes no action.
COMBATSYS: Mr.Big can no longer fight.
The Gangster isn't the only one not to rise. After Sagat landed from that last Tiger Uppercut, Sagat's legs gave out under him and the Muay Thai Legend fell to the ground, face first! The crowd that gathered to see this battle are surely surprised and in awe of the outcome of this World Warrior bout. These two fighters fought to a draw! The announcer will be shouting a confirmation of the results of this match to the fans. As for the Legendary Muay Thai fighter? He just lays there, a gurgling groan coming from the Thai Tiger.
