One of those slower, technical fights. Porto mixed up effective ground work with effective stand-up to take this one. Kheyfets couldn’t keep up and fell to the Port.
She's one of the few that I had put at max starter kit when I was doing NBR. She's not great at stand up, but more than makes up for it on the ground. It's partly why I have such mad respect for D'Alelio's ground game... it ain't easy to beat Porto on the ground, let alone submit her.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
