These two worked themselves into exhaustion. Both could use a stamina boost I guess, but yeah, decent workers right there, good damage by each, but I think in the end, Carmouche had a TINY bit more in the gas tank and was able to capitalize a bit better late in the fight. Sarah’s toughness was good and Carmouche had to work harder than Sarah to get equal damage (during the time the fight was even).
Liz Carmouche looks like she has been waiting for this fight forever.

These two worked themselves into exhaustion. Both could use a stamina boost I guess, but yeah, decent workers right there, good damage by each, but I think in the end, Carmouche had a TINY bit more in the gas tank and was able to capitalize a bit better late in the fight. Sarah’s toughness was good and Carmouche had to work harder than Sarah to get equal damage (during the time the fight was even).
