The fight
The confrontation began with the athletes exchanging blows in the center of the octagon and, in the initial moments, Borella managed to take down the Brazilian. Even in a disadvantageous position, Sheetara adjusted her position and tried to surprise the Italian with a submission. While Mayra tried a triangle, Mara threw blows from top to bottom. After a moment of distraction from her rival, Sheetara managed to get into position, grabbed her arm and forced her opponent to give up.
