I love when as soon as a fighter gets an escape they jump right on their opponent. After holding someone down fighters are normally a little slower and a little bit demoralized after their opponent gets up. Perfect time to get right in their face and start to throw

I think Araujo has completed the download, now she's stopping Grasso's combos before they begin with short hooks

That was another close round.
I have it 30-27 after Grasso.
It may just be that she has a better poker face, but her strikes appear to be having the more immediate impact.

If Grasso had about 5% more power I think she could have put Araujo down a few times. She's just a little small

Aaron Bronsteter
I have it 40-36 for Grasso.
The story of this fight has been her counters. She has been landing crisp, precise and powerful counters in every round that have swung rounds her way in an otherwise close fight.
