...wow. Honestly did not see that coming. Sarah was almost dominating but not quite. (Out-landing, what, 3:2ish?) Rin was hurting, and Sarah was winning, but apparently Rin had enough in the tank for this flash KO. Did the better fighter win? I don't necessarily think so, but a KO is a KO, so no complaints here.
I said it would've been preferable had she been in dominant position whether it was submission or something else... "dominant position" was the key parts there, not "submission". But thanks for playing... :
lol
