Interesting fight. Covington seems to be fighting better, but she still had a hard time getting a concrete advantage over Renzo. She did some good things, but I think her toughness is keeping her a little shy of fighting at her full potential longer.
Renzo Gracie is beating herself up in the corner before the fight begins, smacking herself in the face, body and legs to get ready for her scrap.
This is the first time they meet inside the cage
A pretty fair match today. I can't say who will be the one who will be raising her fist after the match.
The referee of the bout is Dan Miragliotta.

Interesting fight. Covington seems to be fighting better, but she still had a hard time getting a concrete advantage over Renzo. She did some good things, but I think her toughness is keeping her a little shy of fighting at her full potential longer.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
