Toughill’s aggressive style got her in trouble here with the experience and submission skills of LaRosa. It wasn’t a sad, one-sided affair like last card’s fights – I actually thought it would be a decision, as both fighters are low-damage fighters - but once Toughill made gave LaRosa the ground, LaRosa took control and capitalized.
