BACKSTORY
Once upon a time, Natalie King's life was dominated by two loves: Fighting and partying. And if it was a really good night? A combination of both. But it was that combination that brought Natalie to a crossroads in her mid-twenties. Continue taking the occasional kickboxing fight and keep teaching miserable beginner's classes to barely fund her habit? Or give it up and chase her professional fighting dreams? Watching everyone else from her gym find success while she hung around like some bum made it an obvious choice. Now in the best shape of her life from both a mental and physical standpoint, failure's not an option. With a proper purpose, every day's better than the last. She'll greet you with a smile and then try to obliterate your liver with a kick.
No longer the party animal she once was, Natalie's completely focused when it comes to all aspects of her life, especially fighting. When it comes to trash talking, she's reactive. If treated with respect, she'll give respect. If they want smoke? She'll give them smoke. If she's winning? She's feeling herself and if she's losing, she's real about it. Natalie's faced plenty of highs, literally, and lows, she's as centered as it comes now.
FIGHTING STYLE
PRIMARY: Dutch Kickboxing
SECONDARY: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai
STANCE: Orthodox
STRENGTHS
-
Length: With great height, comes great lankiness. And it's that lankiness that gives Natalie quite the reach advantage when it comes to striking in a smaller division. Especially with a heavy focus on her kicking ability and her favored liver kick.
-
Offensive Fighter: Harking back to her kickboxing days, Natalie's always the aggressor in fights and she's happy to do so. Not overly aggressive to tire herself out, but enough to keep her opponents moving. Paired with her having a reach advantage most of the time, she's always confident heading into a fight.
-
Clinch Work: What Natalie lacks in mat wrestling, she tries to make up with her clinch game. She might do the occasional takedown from the clinch, but will always prefer striking.
WEAKNESSES
-
Ring Fighter: For the majority of her fighting career, Natalie's only been in rings. Without ropes or the edge of the ring to force a stand up during submission/wrestling encounters, she'll be at a disadvantage in a cage.
-
Mat Game: With a rudimentary understanding of submissions, Nat knows the basics like a guillotine or heel hook, but don't ask for anything more. And definitely don't ask about escaping more complex submissions. She can wrestle a bit, but if she has to resort to it? It's never a good sign.
-
Late Round Jitters: While always being the offensive fighter is what Natalie goes for, it can sometimes put her in a bad spot late in a fight. If a fight goes to the last round, she might just drop the entire game plan to go all in at getting that KO victory to not let a fight be decided by the judges.
