Have to give props for Carla on becoming champion. I thought Rose would walk away with the belt, seeing her as the more dynamic fighter. I knew Carla had the wrestling edge, but thought over 5 rds that Rose could catch her in a sub. The submission defense of Carla was great and she broke Rose down. Even showed she has underrated striking once again. Will be real interested to see the fight tomorrow between Joanna/Claudia as they will most likely face Carla next.
Penne/Markos was a ton of fun to watch, glad they got FOTN. Penne doesn't have great striking but she can take a shot and man is her ground game fun to watch. She's easily one of my favorites to watch because of her grappling, that flexibility is crazy. During the fight she reversed a position, using just her legs I believe. Randa showed promise with some nice striking in the 2nd, if she kept the fight standing she would have won.
Herring/Elis had some nice grappling exchanges as well.
Props to Heather, she impressed me with her tenacity in the fight and learning she won with a torn ACL is even more impressive.
Yancy with that spinning back kick to Joe Procter
. Have to love that delayed reaction from Proctor until he couldn't hide it anymore
