Barber was rendered unconscious by a Grasso left hand and follow-up strike before her opponent locked in a tight rear-naked choke to secure a victory at the 2:42 mark of Round 1 at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.

Will be back soon, thanks for everyone checking in. ” ‘Not Our Night’ Striking coach Guilherme Faria also weighed in on the result. “Not our night,” Faria wrote.
