Gina Carano defends the Women's Bantamweight title!
Murphy 0/1 on the takedowns – that’s the story of this fight. She should not have tried to slug it out, even for 9 attempted punches, with Carano here. Takedowns, wrestlers. Takedowns.
I like that. 
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
