My biceps, in my neck, blocking the artery, and I was only holding the tip of my biceps. I believe he got everything, chin, articulation”, said the woman from Paraná.
Back in the strawweight division (up to 52,1kg), a group in which she was champion in 2019, Jéssica didn't want anything to do with 'relieving' her compatriot. The athlete says that, upon realizing her rival's situation, she imposed more force to settle the invoice.
“I only heard moaning. I said: 'I'm going to tighten it more, because it's going to hit'. I felt like she 'deleted'. That's when I let go, and she fell. The referee was 'on top'. Then, the judge (referee) arrived and she woke up”, he concluded.
Willing to regain her status as title challenger, Bate-Estaca wins again in the category after a spell in the flyweight division (up to 56,7kg), where she came to compete for the belt, but ended up being defeated by Valentina Shevchenko. Now, the fighter is looking to get back on the throne and, next week, she should return to the top 15 in the division.
