I guess dropping that Brazilian gave her or her trainer some false confidence. Either way trading leather with a taller fighter with a reach advantage who happens to be a superior striker was not a good idea clearly. I did not see anything but the end. Listening to commentators, I have heard she made no serious attempt and seemed content to trade leather. I will check out the whole fight. I do think the winner seems like a good person and much more humble~

I think about halfway through the first round she was trying to clinch, but she was banged up and tiring by then. She should have been going for a takedown right away.
