Gina Carano wins the Women’s title!
These ladies hit HARD. Or often. Cyborg’s 20 landed shots did some beefy damage (as we know they can do). Carano powered through them with good show of toughness, and landed shots of her own. In the end, she just got off a bit more power than Cyborg, and that made the edge of difference.
