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.

In her post-fight interview, Carmouche revealed how things had gone exactly as she had predicted. ‘Girlrilla’ stated, “I knew no matter what she didn’t have the gas tank, so even if I wasn’t winning those ones, I was able to get that back,”.

Like many of you, I too, tuned in for the infamous Nurmagomedov vs. McGregor bout live on October 6, 2018. Being an ardent fan of the UFC (and Dustin ‘The Diamond’ Poirier), I was always looking to have conversations about the same with others. But to my disappointment, I hardly found any followers of the sports to interact with. So I took it upon myself to do my part in popularizing the thrill and the agony behind the purest form of unarmed combat. At EssentiallySports, I try to bring the readers closer to the athletes and focus my coverage on exploring the human side of these martial artists. I’m a musician during my time free from reporting MMA. I operate as the lead vocalist of a rock band that aims to make their mark among the audiences with their original alternative-hard rock songs.
