Interesting. So despite her reputation, D’Alelio is progressing well. She did some good early damage on Fujii here, with good GnP and submission attempts, then I am not sure if stamina was a factor (as Fujii had a lot more), or if it was the effective submission chaining of Fujii, but she started to slide, and Fujii took over completely.

Interesting. So despite her reputation, D’Alelio is progressing well. She did some good early damage on Fujii here, with good GnP and submission attempts, then I am not sure if stamina was a factor (as Fujii had a lot more), or if it was the effective submission chaining of Fujii, but she started to slide, and Fujii took over completely.
