YAY! A finish! This was a solid fight by Kheyfets. Patient, picking apart of her opponent, ultimately grabbing a victory from the arm bar. Beauty. Waterson wasn’t able to do as much damage as she had hoped, despite a pretty aggressive fight. Her recovery made this a fight though, otherwise it would have been a slaughter
