Okay, so this was different. Kedzie came in fighting, and Kyra decided to take it. Not dodge it, not counter-strike...just take it. NOT a smart decision, IN THEORY, for someone with LOW toughness (better after upgrade, but still kinda low-ish). She got hurt pretty good, but survived. Then in round 2, she had a lot more stamina than Kedzie and used that to take over. That part was not unsmart, but...taking damage and doing none was not. Anyways, she comes back, out-submissions Kedzie, doing damage with 9 subs (often chained) and gets the sub. I kind of like these weird fights like this one .
