hahaha. Members had problems with cut stoppages in 30 seconds, what about a fight where the damage differential is more than 3:1, someone out-strikes someone 2:1 on the feet, 5:1 on the ground, has more submissions, clinch strikes, kicks and knock downs and still loses?
Aaaaanywayssss, LaRosa won this one with control. And interestingly enough, even when she was top controlling Tate, Tate was still doing more damage with attacks from the bottom, and submissions and such.
