i mean Gra is a very composed fighter
0:02
She always comes in with a good game
0:04
plan but um but this time she had a
0:07
couple moments of of success but was
0:10
never able to capitalize on those And it
0:12
looked like a very frustrating night for
0:14
her Yeah Um there was that moment in the
0:16
second right like right at the very end
0:19
where she finally got her up against the
0:21
wall And that's kind of what you have to
0:22
do against a fighter like that Like you
0:24
have to cut them off She she's good at
0:27
circling like she goes one way she goes
0:30
the other way she'll go bop bop bop bop
0:32
bop until she's out and back into the
0:34
center of the octagon where she's gonna
0:36
have space to do her run and gun thing
0:38
Gra was finally able to pin her up
0:40
against the wall and throw combinations
0:42
but then at the end she got lumped up
0:44
too That's the game plan that I thought
0:47
she was going to be able to execute It
0:49
was kind of like a page out of um who
0:51
she fought Arujo Yes And again Arua's a
0:54
big strong fighter and she's more of a a
0:56
stalker kind of pressure fighter and she
0:59
was able to get Natalya Silva up against
1:02
the cage and not necessarily like have
1:04
success in getting damage but she was
1:06
able to pin her up against there and I
1:08
thought that that was the game plan that
1:09
Graa would be able to execute However
1:11
she just couldn't get her feet to do it
1:13
Yeah Yeah She was a little slow in there
1:15
and and not like
1:17
uh not slow like hand speedw wise but
1:21
just as soon as she set her feet to do
1:24
something Silva was out and she also had
1:26
patience too like a lot of people aren't
1:29
going to play that game for the entire
1:31
round That
