Probably a better fight than it reads. Syulvia had moments of beefy damage. Bas had to do some surviving. And he did that. But he also landed a kick near the end of the 1st that did mean damage, and SYlvia was never quite the same after. He fought, he did damage, but it was either a matter of time before Bas finished him, or a massive choke fest leading to a sudden bas collapse.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
