[Applause] coming up next it's a UFC Women's strawweight Division matchup well drillers make killers and nobody works her takedowns harder than this young woman she has become a Force in this Division and even though the opposition often times knows what's coming no one's able to stop that shot nobody's able to stop that takedown attempt no one's able to stop that single leg she said in the fighter meetings I have drilled that takedown 5,000 times over and over I hit a single leg every day of the week I hit at least 30 single legs I'm like well is wrestling practice every day she goes no I just want to make sure that I have a skill that is so dominant that no matter how much you practice it you are not practicing it enough to stop me from taking you down with it it is truly crazy to watch your approach to getting that single leg off and her ability to get her opponents off balance in a mixed martial arts setting as special as anybody in the sport right now we'll see how it goes for her here tonight well if she is not the best ground and pound fighter in the women's game today give me another name right because she has taken it to the next level and more often than not when she gets you down and starts throwing punches referees coming in shortly there after the referee jumping in to save her opponents has almost become synonymous with the fights it's the way that her fights in she's beating them so badly that the ref has to jump in and save them we have not seen anyone so good at grounding pound since Tatiana sores first entered the UFC and she has taken that to a whole another level her ability to just control posture control range and land from anywhere from the top position is truly inspiring to watch and not unlike you she's got a Mean Streak she told us in the

she is an outstanding Striker her counterpart is a decorated Grappler but I know for you as much as you love your jab you know what got you to the Big Show and more often than not you stick to it yes absolutely and that's exactly what she needs to do as a Grappler she has to find a time to counter a strike into an attack to make body contact been used the great takeown ability that she has developed over the course of a lifetime if she does not do that she will find herself on the wrong end of a very educated jab from this phenomenal strike oh good series of punches by her there she's in her Zone she's flowing right now Hill gets caught with that punch couple ince body shots there oh back and forth we go oh she lands another hook there that's been the story line in this round she told us on Thursday she felt like that weapon would be wide open and that's exactly the way it's played that's exactly what she anticipated doing oh she is such a diverse Striker that that b strike

in this one DC give us a PR you think she goes back to it here she's absolutely going to go back to it when I look at her fight I think of John ler where he just throws hooks to the body hooks to the headed she does a great job of fixing up the Target and now as the fight has progressed expect her to try to really sit down on one and end the fight huge knee lands what a punch those lower jaw does not look good I don't think it's broken but starting to show some obvious signs of swell good series of strikes by her there she is staying wicked busy tonight very busy but also super accurate she is

great grapp get close make contacts use your trips and throws to get the fight to the mat if you're the striker you need to be at distance she has to maintain space so that she can time and hopefully

again John it sounds like we're a broken record that jab is fast look at that Jab those take right now we take a look back at some of the action in that previous round DC a lot to like on both sides really I mean both were intent on going forward and what happens when nobody wants to take a step back they meet in the middle that's exactly what they did and they both found success over the course of that round all right so the last five minutes were nothing if not dominant as we get to the next round here and she told us on Thursday I'm going to work the body wear my opponent down so far so so far so good she's done a great job of just staying the course you don't see the immediate return on body punches but if you stay the course if you wait in the long term it will pay itself off DC for my money she's really timing her shots pretty well here tonight her timing accuracy and also the activity level is great tonight effective punch there by Rivera oh oh my goodness another head kick lands not every day you see multiple head kicks a shot she's thrown tonight her opponent H beautiful placement on that hook what a great job of finding such a massive shot Superman punch lands oh wa

she has at her disposal big punch from the clinch oh now she's got the tie clinch good opportunity to do significant damage here oh uppercut land all right some really grueling work here in the clinch both Fighters really struggling to gain a dominant position that happens whenever you understand the position both know exactly beautiful taked down land oh well played there as she gets back to her feet oh and just like that the fight is over to oh my goodness what a performance not sure she could have drawn it up much better just a beautiful strike to end the fight for her opponent who candidly may not have even seen that flush shot coming so this is exactly the way she drew it up she told us during fight week that she had to find a way to finish this flight to send a message to the rest of
