It didn't work and the result was Lauren was tentative standing because she was concerned about takedowns.frankp316https://www.blogger.com/profile/15952643308239496436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18922597.post-46095782320165130522014-08-18T10:05:00.614-04:002014-08-18T10:05:00.614-04:00Ha!

I was slightly surprised by the plan of Lauren and thought she would fight hard for the stand up. You are right that she needed to make escape from the takedown; she failed to do that and lost the score. Sara still fights like an athlete, not a MMA fighter. Ronda does way better than her and I can't imagine how big the gap is if Ronda continues to improve. Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992313602475391711noreply@blogger.com
