Carter took control early with a solid takedown, then ate a few punches near the end of the first round. A big hook by Martin kicked off the second, but Carter retaliated with a few of her own. Martin took full control of round three, but exhaustion has become the primary issue for both fighters. Another takedown by Carter in the fourth plus a pair of strikes gave her the edge heading into the decisive round. Martin out quick with a haymaker, but Carter comes back and they both fight their way to a finish. Good back and forth affair.
