Kheyfets did really well early and dominated the first round. But Roxanne was able to get her takedowns going in the 2nd, and kinda took over after that, with takedowns and submission attempts out the wazoo. A good win for her, but she’ll need to keep at the toughness and conditioning to get to the next level.
