This is peak escape challenge, featuring the allure of darkness personified in Zoe, in control of a valiant, but outclassed fighter in Nacho, in a real, competitive, immobilization challenge.

MX-289 ended up being a longer escape challenge because Zoe, a sadistic captor by nature and practice, takes her time enjoying the victory segments after successful immobilizations with rough, nose-crushing, lengthy, submission-inducing facesits and facesquats as well as heavy treading on her captive’s face, submerging him into the depths of the dark square underneath her crotch and the bottom of her foot.

Zoe’s no-mercy mode is turned out by Nacho's few successful escapes as she dominates him extensively after each win, and keeps his head heavily pinned to the mat under her foot for the entire duration of the concluding interviews.

Here is a full description of the Escape Challenge style including the list of holds used:

This style consists of 11 rounds – 11 immobilization challenges. One of the competitors, the immobilizer, has to either hold or submit their opponent in each of 11 pre-defined holds / pins for one minute, within which the competitor being held tries to escape. A successful escape is one where the immobilized separates himself/herself from the captor in a significant way. If there is no successful escape, and the final position is close to the original one, the point for the challenge is awarded to the immobilizer, otherwise her/his opponent receives a point.

The competitors take position for each hold and are instructed to start the challenge. 10 seconds before the time limit (at 50 seconds), they are informed about the time. If the immobilization has been achieved or a submission has been scored, a point gets rewarded and the immobilizer performs a victory pose.

The holds are:

1. Schoolgirl pin with arms pinned above

2. Reverse schoolgirl pin with arms pinned below

3. Grapevine pin

4. Triangle

5. Lotus lock

6. Full-nelson / bodyscissors combo

7. Figure-4 headscissors with arm trapped

8. Reverse headsit (with face buried in feet)

9. Ankle ch*ke with arm control

10. Venus trap

11. Foot-on-chest pin

Note: this, along with NC-282 and an unreleased Ali ? video, are the 3 videos filmed during the First Exposure '25 sh*ot, with the cast present, that were not included in the bundles, since they don’t feature the participants.

Match outline: all the challenges listed above (18 minutes), long final victory pose held by Zoe throughout the concluding interviews.
