Typical non-championship women's fight here. 5 round decision. BUT, unlike most of these epic decisions from hell, this one was damn close to being finished. Toughill ended the fight with about 4% of her overall health. Another round, or few mins even, and Toughill would be unconscious. Hell, a brisk wind would have finished her off.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
