Yamanaka seemed to have absolutely no defence in this one. She could use some toughness too, which I feel like I have been mentioning for a long time now, but what can ya do? But yeah, Rin walked in and walked all over Hiroko this time.

Rin is still good from her upgrades for the D'ALelio fight.

Yet again, the elitist prick rears his ugly head... I'm honestly going to be so happy when Sarah beats fucking Carano... not because it's Carano; I like Carano, but because it's you... you self-serving, self-righteous son of bitch!

[Ferocity]

HIroko has almost no upgrades (like 2 points I think) and to be competitive in this legue now she needs some. The women's division is tight.

you need more than some upgrades to be competitive
