But, the end of the third round also came as an end to all her difficulties in the bout. It was probably her opponent, DeAnna Bennett’s gas tank, which hampered her effectiveness in the championship rounds. At the 4:29 mark of the fourth round, Carmouche secured a tight arm-triangle choke over her opponent and forced her to submit.
