Another great fight. Fujii got shredded first round, and it looked like Calderwoody was going to run away with it. Then Fujii fought back in round 2, evening up the fight totals (or close to it). The next round was even, and momentum for both women seemed to reset. Then in round 4, Fujii started taking over, did some good stuff and got things going her way. She finished up in round 5. Great show from both. Also, all respect to the other semi-finals fight/winner, but this probably could/should have been the finals fight. These two sooo legitz!

Another great fight. Fujii got shredded first round, and it looked like Calderwoody was going to run away with it. Then Fujii fought back in round 2, evening up the fight totals (or close to it). The next round was even, and momentum for both women seemed to reset. Then in round 4, Fujii started taking over, did some good stuff and got things going her way. She finished up in round 5. Great show from both. Also, all respect to the other semi-finals fight/winner, but this probably could/should have been the finals fight. These two sooo legitz!
