    She had a few opportunities to finish Valentina with rear naked choke just like Grasso did. Like Taila, Grasso never got her arm under Valentina's chin but was able to squeeze and put enough pressure on Valentina's jaw for Valentina to tap. Khabib did the same thing to McGregor and made him tap. I blame her coaches for not pointing this out to her.

      On the ground she can neutralise grasso enough to either get some clinch time on her or separate to keep on feet where grasso will have issues with her

    Crafty is not necessarily dangerous. Grasso was crafty. Blanchfield is dangerous. That said, Taila is powerful and has a respectful knockout history. This fight should be interesting. Neither fighter has been stopped, that I'm aware of. Taila has one lost, questionable, while Erin remains undefeated to date. They both should be looking over their shoulder for those Silva girls. Karine and Natalia.
