I did NOT see that coming. Despite the power-upgrading since the card-post, I still assumed D’Alelio could get Holm to the ground and dominate her. Her downfall was definitely the 0/4 on the takedowns. When she was landing some GnP strikes, and the sub, she did some damage. Sadly, the better overall fighter lost this fight. But that is MMA, and what can ya do?
