Gina Carano defends the Women’s title!
A really good first round from Coenen, probably eking out the round if we scored by round. Carano wasn’t happy about that, and came out strong in round 2. It seemed to be a specific combo that finished Coenen though, as she had lots of health, then little, then she was unconscious. Carano. Legit-Bomb defined. Though I am also happy Coenen has been developed properly into a completely legit contender. This was no cakewalk.
