This was a really good back and forth one. Rousey started wearing on Tate’s conditioning in the first. Tate started taking over in the second, and beat Ronda down to about half her health with effective GnP striking. In the 3rd, Ronda came out with a series of really strong submission-chains and caught Tate in the armbar for the fin. Also, Im not sure what sort of seizure brought about the last sentence there before the result, but the program has some weird ideas of what’s happening in a fight sometimes...

This was a really good back and forth one. Rousey started wearing on Tate’s conditioning in the first. Tate started taking over in the second, and beat Ronda down to about half her health with effective GnP striking. In the 3rd, Ronda came out with a series of really strong submission-chains and caught Tate in the armbar for the fin. Also, Im not sure what sort of seizure brought about the last sentence there before the result, but the program has some weird ideas of what’s happening in a fight sometimes...
