AMAZON - Silvia Mertel of the Xoco tribe took first place in Saturday’s annual Dia De Los Muertos Fight Club event. Alaya managed to capture second place. 

More than a dozen contestants came to show off their fighting prowess.

 

Mrs. Amber Shieldmaiden was quite festive at the event.

 

The fights included a rematch between Syrissa Broono and Sunisa Minoptra. Minoptra, along with an army of Xoco, had previously attempted to capture Boono’s heart, only to have the marriage thwarted by the Chaos army.

In Saturday’s match, Broono managed to escape matrimony again, this time single-handedly. She finished out the event in third place.
