Ediane Gomes threw heat for three rounds to overcome the much larger Hiroko Yamanaka. Sarah D’Alelio stifled the striking game of Amanda Nunes with big takedowns and superior wrestling. Leslie Smith looked like a female Nate Diaz by putting together impressive boxing combinations to win a unanimous decision over Raquel Pennington.
Alexis Davis left Shayna Baszler unconscious on the canvas with a rear-naked choke in the final round. And in the main event, Carla Esparza used her wrestling to control and battle the punching assault of Australia’s “Rowdy” Bec Hyatt to win the Invicta FC 115-pound title.
Check out these photos from each of the main card bouts shot by Invicta FC photographer Esther Lin:
That scottish chick had my attention, had a schoolgirl look to her. I know playing off the fighters sex appeal isn’t the point, but it wouldn’t hurt in terms of attracting an audience.
I really enjoyed the Scottish gal. Some nice vibe to her.
unyielding chick!
