I love when these 2 fight. It’s such classic striker vs. Grappler. If they are grappling, Randa is doing damage. If they are standing, JJ is. JJ used great clinch work here, even though only 4 apparantly landed, they did big damage. Randa did some good damage with her GnP, but in the end, JJ is just a bit better and she showed it tonight, with the fight and heart of a champion. Loved it.
