Decent fight. Sarah’s depth of development really showed in this one, as she was able to survive on the feet, get it to the ground, wear down her opponent with GnP and sub work, and get the KO via more GnP. A full performance from her that should make The Kruzer pleased. The women’s division’s top ranks are slowly getting a make-over.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
