To say this was all Tate would be an understatement. She didn’t destroy Gracie at all, but Gracie did NOTHING, thus giving Tate the win by default. Too bad.

To say this was all Tate would be an understatement. She didn’t destroy Gracie at all, but Gracie did NOTHING, thus giving Tate the win by default. Too bad. The fight started interesting, with damage being done both ways, but both fighters saw blood, got scared, and did dick thereafter. And not in a good way.
