Gina Carano wins the Women's Bantamweight title!
This was a better fight than it will read. Murphy was dominating early with effective takedown and GnP. She was hurting Gina and it looked like it was not changing any time soon. Then it did. Gina got up, and the striking began. Big damage done by both, both are legit, and today, striking won the day.
