Aguiar would take it to the ground on the last two rounds, dominating with control and submission attempts. The judges gave all three rounds to Aguiar (now 6-3), who extends her win streak to four.
Faria gets the win
In the other semi-final, Kalindra Faria defeated Carina Damm by a submission in the opening stanza. This was a rematch of their 2009 match, which Damm won by TKO. Damm came in over weight for the bout, with Faria taking 20% of Damm’s purse. Faria was able to slap an armbar on Damm and got the tap at 2:05 of round 1, but Faira didn’t release right away.
