After getting submitted in the first round in her first pair of octagon appearances, Juarez was able to change the narrative and get her hand raised this time around. She knew she could do it with her punching power.
“That was the plan,” Juarez told Daniel Cormier through an interpreter during her post-fight interview. “I knew she would come for the takedowns, and we could defend them and land with my hands. This win is for everyone.”
