Karolina Kowalkiewicz looked impressive from the beginning
Kowalkiewicz was the first one to land a significant strike. Although Juarez started the fight trying to throw a few strikes but she was taken down by Kowalkiewicz after about a minute. However, Kowalkiewicz failed to transition it into a rear naked choke. But, her ground game was too much for Juarez to handle. Most of the round was dominated by Kowalkiewicz on the ground.
The second round was quite evenly matched as both exchanged and landed a few shots. It would have been hard for the judges to score this round.
