Gonna be a greasy decision. Felt like Martinez had a close win until those last few exchanges.

That's what I didn't like watching Martinez tape. She has decent striking but there was no evolution from fight to fight to speak of and agreed she lost her last one.

Honestly, Reed has just been given atomweights and capitalizing on it. She is not a UFC level fighter

Really liked Martinez's offense, but those defensive holes and fight IQ were glaring.

Elise Reed either 30-27 or 29-28.. Martinez with serious ring rust after not fighting for 1000+ days

Very close fight, first 2 rounds were obvious, last is hard to decide, striking wise martinez won but reed landed a right in the beginning that looked significant, but grappling wise it was reed whilst landing a few ground and pound shots. Tough fight to score
