She won in grappling because she had 2 dominant takedowns, never lost control and ended in top.....seems pretty simple.
Wonderboy vs Woodley was a tactician war, nothing really can compare to those fights, and I don't even know where you're going with that. But yeah ring control does mean a lot if you're actually getting paid to score an MMA match.
Those are some serious goggles you're wearing. It's just not true. You said earlier Valentina was going to win because Amanda was going to withdrawal right before the fight ahha...think you have an unhealthy bias here dude.
I didn't even have a dog in the fight, I basically watch every UFC fight no matter what level as I like to have a feel for good betting spots.....and I had no clue who was going to win, didn't touch it, they're both world class.
Just wanted a good fight........which it wasn't. But Valentina didn't deserve the belt with that performance, no way.
