Lost to the crushing depths of the Pacific Ocean since 1944, this WWII Japanese Nihonto (sword) was recovered as a ghost of its former self. Encased in a thick "shell" of calcified coral, salt crust, and severe oxidation, the blade seemed beyond saving.
And away they go. Again, Andrew lining up with Chandler while Sean takes on Matt.
Keeping an eye on the side of the list to look for openings.
Deciding to take on Matt anyways.
Chandler breaking away from Andrew, looking for some sneaky shenanigans with that belt.
And smacking Andrew right in the face.
It does nothing, but it's not the armor.
Brain damage.
Andrew almost being thrown there with a good head grasp.
Chandler taking a gamble for a trip on the merry-go-round.
I'm expecting to see a leg sweep here.
Nope, he tries to push it to the ground.
It's going in for the charge.
These guys are getting a little bit sluggish from my point of view,
but I'm sure it's the heat just melting their brains.
If you guys think it's hot out here when it's 90 degrees,
it's probably 120 inside of this armor here, so it is not great.
Andrew going in for the loving hug while John falls out of the list.
Matthew going for a nice Taco Bell ring on the dome right there.
And Matt secured lift, winning it for his team.
Well done, fighters.
