At some point everyone slows down. Valentina is winning but you can see her falling off a little bit imo

This is how Valentina's always fought. I don't think she's regressing, I think the younger fighters are progressively getting more skilled and strong with time.

I think Herzog is the best ref but that was weird, he stands them up  as Val is working and then doesn't even say anything for the illegal upkick
