grapplingdecent
Picked against despite being rated the better, cleaner skill set overall -- the analyst favors the opponent's recent momentum instead.
Considered the more technical of the two on the feet, if not the harder puncher -- she links combinations well, moves her head effectively, throws good volume, and counters capably. She has one deliberate volume-padding trick: firing a low kick off her lead leg and immediately following with a body kick off that same leg without resetting her stance. Grappling is also a plus, with some real qualifications -- she scrambles well, takes the back well, and finishes with a rear-naked choke, the same submission that once won her a title; she often attacks submissions less to finish and more to advance her position. Her guard stays very active. The significant flaw is defensive -- takedowns land on her, and once she's grounded, she sometimes just remains passive instead of actively working back to her feet.
