10-9 dern. No idea why she isn't trying for a single leg trip. Seems screamingly obvious to this armchair quarterback anyway.

Made it home from work early tonight, so looks like I won’t miss the fights this time!

Dern’s striking is total trash. Yoder needs to throw with more volume, because she’s definitely the better of the two on the feet.

Did Yoder win the round by stuffing TD's?

Dern is another jiu-jitsu fighter with average wrestling and takedown skills.

10-9 yoder. Man, dern swings like a drunk at a barbeque.

Needs to hot that TD this round.

Decent fight. Wouldn’t be a total robbery if Yoder won, but round 3 was definitely Dern’s.

29-28 dern.

Don't blame her for not hitting the sub, pretty slippery that point.

Good fight.

29 - 28 Dern.

If she wants to be a top contender she's going to have to go the Demian Maia way and forget about the striking and get better at the wrestling.

I think that's the right call. Dern controlled most of the first round and landed most of the early strikes.  Yoder took the 2nd.  And Dern earns the 3rd with the last 2 minutes.

@hornet because many state athletic commissions are bureaucracies.

the two people downvoting this didn't tune in for ggg vs canelo.

She's a pie3ce of ****. Either corrupt, incompetent, or maybe a combination of the two.

She is a cancer on adjudication.

Too true.  It honestly makes me question the legitimacy of all the 50 regulation commissions in America.
