The first round and a half of this fight was everything I was hoping it would be. It was very close, both ladies were mixing it up really well, and it was a very even fight. I think given the difference in their levels of upgrades, though, as the fight wore on, Sarah had more of the important things – stamina, health & toughness. She did some grinding and ground Davis down for a round, then she did some striking and strike Davis up for a while. Then did some takedowns and worked some GnP for a while. Davis wasn’t in the fight after about the 3rd round. D’Alelio needed this.

The first round and a half of this fight was everything I was hoping it would be. It was very close, both ladies were mixing it up really well, and it was a very even fight. I think given the difference in their levels of upgrades, though, as the fight wore on, Sarah had more of the important things – stamina, health & toughness. She did some grinding and ground Davis down for a round, then she did some striking and strike Davis up for a while. Then did some takedowns and worked some GnP for a while. Davis wasn’t in the fight after about the 3rd round. D’Alelio needed this.
