Wow, Naho had nothing in this fight. Nothing. Not even a cheerio. Kedize won this fight standing. The sub was incidental.

No, but what I think was unexpected was HOW she was able to dominate this one. Classically, ManMMA Kedzie's never been THIS dominant in a fight before. Happy to see it finally, just a bit surprising.
