Round One
Calderwood is kicking right away, with Chookagian returning the favor as both women look to find their range early. Chookagian then begun to land a few punches as well though, edging forward and timing some counters along the way. Calderwood's low kicks were persistent though, with consistent attacks already paying dividends. Chookagian's offense was certainly more varied, finding a few routes to success but eating low kicks regardl♋ess. The damage of those were visible too, having success but showing the effects anyway. Chookagian's punches did find a home at times also though.
Round Two
After things continued in similar fashion here early, Calderwood tackled her foe to the mat, settling for the clinch as Chookagian battled upright. They soon separated nonetheless, with Chookagian upping the output and experiencing success as a result.

Though stiꦡll stalking, Calderwood's striking had somewhat 🐻stalled, going after a takedown instead and in the end, scoring one as well. Calderwood spent the next minute inside her foe's guard, not achieving much but maintaining control regardless.
Round Three
The kicking continued in the final round, with both landing solid strikes while struggling to gain an upper hand. Chookagian's certainly the more active fighter though, mixing her offense up until Calderwood caught another kick and scored one more takedown.She let her up though, eating a right hand for her troubles. Seemingly slowed, Calderwood began to showboat in the fight's final minute, taunting Chookagian after her movement had caused som𒅌e frustration.

Popov was working away with his kicks though, landing a nice knee to the chin also and gaining some respect at range. While less aggressive now, Wineland's punches were still landing at🐻 times, seemingly rocking Popov but failing to take advantage. He then hurt him again, chasing the finish but failing to do so as the first round came to a close.
Round Two
Roles reversed at the start of the 2nd round though, with Wineland getting rocked as his legs began to betray him. Now it was Popov pushing forward, stuffing a takedown and landing kicks as well. Wineland steadily regrouped though, once again flurrying with his hands and landing a solid combination. Both men were now landing punches but Wineland continued to get the better of things while in the meantime, Popov's kicks found a home. Wineland then changed levels, 🦹scoring a takedown only for Popov to stand right back up.

A sidekick to the body dropped Hill immediately, following up with punches and seemingly overwhelming her foe as well.

Xiaonan scored a takedown late and then tagged Hill as she stood back up too.
Round Three
Hill’s aggression refused to waver, walking forward but continuing to eat shots as a result.

A right hook did seemingly rock Xiaonan though, with Hill hoping to seize and upping the ante once more. Xiaonan didn’t wilt regardless, firing back a🧸nd having some success of her own. Hill’s right hand had certainly found a home nonetheless, launching it over and over as Xiaonan looked to keep her foe off.
