...wow. Not really sure where this took the dramatic turn for D’Alelio, who was winning this one early, but she fell apart fast and Miesha capitalized. Tate was getting low on stamina, and her takedown defence needs work, but she kept coming forward and eventually got herself into a position to lock in some submissions. D’Alelio has some moster toughness/Ko resistance, as she took a huge beating here, damage-wise.
Meisha Tate glares at her opponent from the opposite corner.

A pretty fair match today. I can't say who will be the one who will be raising her fist after the match.

...wow. Not really sure where this took the dramatic turn for D’Alelio, who was winning this one early, but she fell apart fast and Miesha capitalized. Tate was getting low on stamina, and her takedown defence needs work, but she kept coming forward and eventually got herself into a position to lock in some submissions. D’Alelio has some moster toughness/Ko resistance, as she took a huge beating here, damage-wise.
