I didn't realize Claressa is only 26. She already has the record for the fastest boxer to win titles in 3 different weight classes and now she's doing MMA. We are watching a Legend in the making!
You forget she’s also a TWO TIME OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST.
A legend already*
Wait waitaminute.. U must be, don't be please no, slow.. She already a legend.. She just still goin..
@@azureavocado5195 No I actually didn't just didn't put in my comment but yes that too!
Hard to believe she's only 26.Seems like she's been dominating a decade already.She a great fighter.
To see her go straight to the corner after she won & said “Momma Momma” priceless moment!
Oh yes!!!!!
Fax💯💯
Excellent
💡 Was America really part of the country of India and that the Indians were not red, but the British called them the Red Indians to isolate them from India and after the British held them execution and rape parties for women?...
Only to lose her 2nd mma fight to an average fighter 🤣 The 🐐 😂
“Momma your daughter’s a dog!”literally made me tear up 🥹 I’m so proud of Claressa, keep representing girl!!!
fuck me too, in tears
I caught chills
NO, she's NOT a Dog. Her characteristics or attributes while fighting shows those of a dog.
I think she said Don
Looked like CLUBBER LANG VS ROCKY BALBOA !!!
She is so smart she learned from her mistakes listened to her coach and won,mad respect
smart? compared to what? Close to braindead in my book
I noticed that as well.
She handled herself well, I was scared for her at first, because she lacked experience with MMA, but with guts and pure Power she prevailed 🥊🥊🏆
But she definitely needs to work on her wrestling. Her boxing learning is done - so put the time on learning the rest, kicking, wrestling positions, etc. So much stuff she could use.
Girl yes, I was getting pissed but I’m so glad she came though
Happy to say her ground game is evolving every day
First off i think it’s her will and guts that makes her the legend she is. For about almost 2 rounds elkin really used the grown to show it was her domain and this was also one of shields first matches in the mma and she didn’t shy away. Like “Kobe mamba mentality” she went straight for I.T right at elkin letting her know this might be my weakness but I’m that dog that my weakness I won’t be allowed to make me falter. And she beat her at her own game in the same way and she purposely did that. She not like a rampage Jackson or kimbo slice she’s a different breed from them as dominant strikers. She showed even out of her specialty she can get it done any way needed! Champs win ugly and unconventionally and she fiercely went into winning that way I think this is a real statement win for her even with the room to grow
If someone would just give her some judo and BJJ basics and tell her to stand up she would be a serious problem - If she trains somewhere she needs to find a better trainer - she has the stand up already
Her stamina is crazy. Also love a woman who loves her momma. Got me teary eyed with that moment. If you've ever had to lose your momma. You know what I'm talking about. Big respect to Sister Clarissa.
Right…I definitely got teary eyed! Queen did her thing
she looked like a old lady vs the mexican
Fuck yeah her stamina is crazy shes a beast very awesome job for her 1st mma pro fight
Yeeessss!!
Holly Holm is a better all around fighter. Being a legend and champions in boxing, kickboxing and MMA. Katie taylor is the best pure boxer in the sport. shields is good, but not as great as the two previously mentioned. shields lost the fight right after this one to a nobody. JS.
Sheilds crew had me dying 😂😂they said, "FINISH HER!"😂😂
Honestly, I felt intimated by Brittney's stone facial expression in the beginning. But when Claressa followed her coach's advice before round 3, I was like, "Wow.."
This was a great fight.
The fact that she won this by tko is the most impressive thing I've ever seen a boxer beat a mma fighter by tko in MMA...she deserves super respect
wouold be impressive if the ref had not stopped it to soon, he gave her the fight
@@bryannonya9769 If he hadn't stop it Elkin would risk suffering brain damage. She was pretty much stuck in a position wear her head was wide open.
I mean wouldn’t it be more impressive if she won by sub since she’s already a boxer?
@@bryannonya9769 She was gonna win anyway you clown, who cares?
she only won because elkin let go of the armbar for some reason. i think she thought the red said it was over.
She’s a listener. That’s why she’s so successful and a winner. Amazing woman…..🙏🏼✊🏼👊🏼
I love the eye contact with her corner. You could tell she had heart and fight in her.
Yes I noticed that….she focused on her coaches and followed the advice. Amazing win 🙌🏾
It's thrilling to see Clarissa like this. She's the bravest most courageous professional athlete on the planet. This puts men to shame. To risk her career fighting these tough mixed martial artists. So brave. I'm now a big fan.
Definition of heart of a champion. Much respect for both.. I’m so proud of Shields!!!! She is going to take all belts.
Man I've never been so into a MMA fight as much as I was watching this. I'm happy she pulled it off. Heart of a champion
Holly Holm is a better all around fighter. Being a legend and champions in boxing, kickboxing and MMA. Katie taylor is the best pure boxer in the sport. shields is good, but not as great as the two previously mentioned. shields lost the fight right after this one to a nobody. JS.
Yeah our sister beat that beast down!!! She the better fighter.
@@mikehunt7586 you bring interesting points the only problem is no one asked
Heart of a Lion!!!
I was doing all type of movements 😂
She truly has the heart of a champ. Her strength and conditioning is impressive. Always fresh even after being dominated. A W well deserved.
Шо ты напысав, шо стилько лайкив поставылы
Yes it was WOW 👍🏾
Because she's a boxer, not an MMA fighter. She's coming in with a disadvantage. If boxers want to fight MMA fighters it should be in a new middle ground sport called Rumble. Boxing with elbows, knees, hammerfisrs, 6 Oz gloves, extended clinches, and a smaller ring that allows for more brawling. But no kicks. Eight 2 minute rounds. Rumble will allow us to see who the best mid range fighters are.
@@brianhanes5413 i just feel like the main things that boxers need to learn in order to make it in MMA is clinche and takedown defense. If they can master those, they can rely more on their natural skills to win
Comebacks are always the best. She looked very natural at that weight too. The other girl looked like she cut too much weight.
"Your daughter is a dog!" Love that quote from her. As that ground game continues to improve, Shields will have an amazing run!
Clarissa is one of my favorite boxers. I watched her transition from boxing, I'm excited to see how she grows as a fighter. I hope she becomes the perfect fighter
Nothing prepared me for how stunning Shields' smile would be when she removed her mouthguard. What a champion!! I love how she said "never quit!"
Win lose or draw, Respect to Claressa Shields for taking this fight!👊
typical white supremacist even when you lose you still talk like you won.
Why?
@@analogalbacore7166 Just because you'll do it all the time. Bleeding like a white heavyweight. And try and act like you did something amazing
She won! 😆 🤣
Facts!!! It wasn't a rubber stamp Floyd Mayweather organized sparring session...!LMAO
So freakin proud of you! OMG you are representing like a Moe Foe! You definitely inspire me to keep pushing and get better at my craft. Wish my mom was alive to see you dominate! Had my eyes watering!🎉
She did it!! I'm so proud of her journey 💓!
Shields stayed calm the entire fight regardless what position Elkins put her in the strength n power of Shields unbelievable so amazing 😻 💯🔥🔥🔥✊🏾
I agree, she did not panic. She seriously needs to learn how to use her hips and work hard on ground game.... She does that .... she will be a serious threat to anyone.
Boxer's stamina is real.. Claressa wasn't worn down from being on her back like Brittney hoped would happen.. Claressa's punching power is real as her ground game picks up she's going to be a nightmare... The fact ALL fights starts standing, just makes her that much more of a problem..
After hearing your story from start till now you have inspired not just me but I would imagine so many others up to this point I really didn’t know much about you but after a few weeks of diving into your history what a story you have told you will go down and are one of the great
Great elite athlete with a great heart, congrats Claressa!
WOW!! Let Shields get her ground game going and she'll be a MONSTER!! Way to hang tough! 👍🏽
Good luck with that. It's 3 years minimum to be competent and aware on the ground and she's set on her ways.
@@realjaytruth at least she wasn’t scared to step in the octagon though you have to respect that.
Hell yea I’m a fan now ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️good work to both btw
Ground game, ground game , ground game that really needs to develop and she will be fine out there. She did a lot better than most men in there debut in the octagon no cap. Great fight
facts, but she doesn't have to be Anderson Silva lol. All she needs to do is defend the takedown well and work on cage pressure
I love how fast Claressa adapted and changed up her attack and did what she does best.
You mean after Elkins tired herself out in the second round? That's literally the only reason she won
@@mattbarker1411 sure it is stop hating you mad that the black girl won stop hating
Great fight thank you
I want that camera! That image is brilliant! Oh and I ❤ T-Rex
That was so sweet “I never quit, I never quit.” Proud of her.
Once her ground game improve She gonna walk through any fighter she stand in front of. She has so much power in her legs it’s all about the technic now. Great start for her. That overhand right gonna turn someone into a highlight real soon!!
IF she continues to develop in MMA and can adjust - I can see her really hurting someone actually. Like her hands are crazy
Shes already had her ass beat .it didn't take any special
That first overhand i was like....yo that's gonna be remembered someday.
Shevenko or Nunez will punish her she’s years away from even thinking about getting in the octagon with either of them.
potential but lets not get ahead of ourselves, her opponents record is well with all due respect, but that was good but a more experienced and technical fighter would punish her mistakes there, hopefully she learns and improves.
Shields got *HEART!* I really didn't think she'd be able to defeat Elkin's ground game. Great match!
Very entertaining fight! Great effort by both women. Claressa is one tough lady!
Seriously... I am so extremely proud of you Clarissa!! Words can not Express the feeling of achievement and possibility you provide by going out, pushing yourself past "limits" and conquering by never giving up! Congrats Queen!!!
I was yelling in the car for her like she was my sister 💯💯💯💯💯💯
@@seankaine2411 It was a pretty emotional moment, real talk. Truly inspiring!!
The chills that I got like the determination was relentless!!!!!!!!!
Phenomenal. Once she puts in more mat time, she'll be even more awesome. EDIT: And STILL rocking the Blue in her hair to highlight the ongoing Flint MI water crisis. What a CHAMP.
Still ongoing smh terrible
@@treacherousjslither6920 Murica! 🤷🏿♂️
How the hell can a country call itself the “greatest nation”, yet millions of its citizens don’t have drinkable water?
@@stevonopolous4875 issa conundrum.
Yes: FLINT STILL DOES NOT HAVE CLEAN WATER.
One of the best female mma fights I've seen......both girls super tough.....this is the epitome of not giving up even when ur back's against the wall!! Good job both of them
I don't think I've ever rooted for an underdog more than I did for this match. Truly a Rocky vs Drago event. So happy for her.
Great fight ! Had me on the edge of my chair 🤣 didn't know what was going to happen they are both skillful young ladies
That was absolutely amazing to watch. That release of energy after the win had me in tears. She walked through fire for 5-6 min, the whole time just calm sporadic at times and just raw in the world of mma. I pray she stays focused and hungry because man, her strength and striking are out of this world. Would definitely shake things up in the UFC but still a good ways from that. Maybe 5-6 more fights then a spot on TUF.
@toptier bryan okay professor for some people punching is striking. Some don't develop much more then that. Look at Gaethje, mixes in leg kicks but for the most part he is a puncher. Their are a few cats who have a little more then she does but prefer to throw leather.
Freaking LOVE Claressa Shields. Been following her since she was in the Olympics back in 2016.
THIS Queen right here! I don't follow MMA closely but watch a match on YT sometimes. When she starts yelling Mama oh my God, reminded me of the insurmountable odds my Mom and I overcame to escape my abusive father. I wish Ms. Shields all the success and wins!
She never felt that type of force from a punch that many times Claressa young but a vet 💯 love it
Clarissa is the real deal...Even taking on MMA alone is amazing...
Wow that was really cool!! I didn’t think she was going to win but she stuck in there and took her opportunity. Like a champ.
Great job
I remember watching her when she was a teenager. Her dedication is amazing. Both women were dangerous in this match but Ms. Claressa!!!!!! Ms. Claressa is a beast! Much respect!
Good fight
Ms. Shields really said "Imma try MMA for shit and giggles!" Her learning curve is exponential. She already has that champion mindset, the cardio, dedication, fast learner and can adjust accordingly. I reckon finding a solid gym or optimal MMA coach could do wonders. Coach Lopez could be an interesting try out, as a consultant.
Her hands are incredible, but her wrestling is less than jv level in this video. Women's mma just has almost no talent, so it's not exposed. Very few decent women's mma fighters
typical white supremacist even when you lose you still talk like you won.
@@fangiscool1 which is exactly why this game is hers to take and dominate
She has the best mma coaches in the game with winkle jon
😂😂😂😂😂 her ground game proves your second statement wrong.
Good stuff 👏
Impressed by her stamina and heart!
The girl has hear, thats for sure! If Clarissa can get a ground game or at least a good defense, she will do well... She's definitely at a great camp that understands her boxing and can put her ground game together!!!
I agree she should get a training camp where she can work on grappling submissions and make that bass as stronger as her Boxing .
So true but i'm not a MMA fighter but a certified Kick boxer and Personal trainer. Even though she is a extraordinary boxer, I just didn't understand why her corner did not advise her; weather it was in the camp or ring to use the front side kick from bone Jones play book to keep the opponent at bay, and to use elbows as well as jabs and punches! 🤔 she might need an extra trainer or other trainers to improve her game; because those few tricks from bone Jones playbook would have been excellent for her debut!!!
That’s Pretty freaking good especially she’s new at this game Broward her
@Manoel Júlio uhhhhhh, what?????????
Shields is gunna be a serious problem lol those combos are hard and natural. Gained a new fan 💯
Bro the bomb the threw starting the 3rd round gave me a headache watching!!!
💯💯
Because she's a boxer, not an MMA fighter. She's coming in with a disadvantage. If boxers want to fight MMA fighters it should be in a new middle ground sport called Rumble. Boxing with elbows, knees, hammerfisrs, 6 Oz gloves, extended clinches, and a smaller ring that allows for more brawling. But no kicks. Eight 2 minute rounds. Rumble will allow us to see who the best mid range fighters are.
She lost to a can after this fight 😂
@@curlsgonewild5769 bandwagoners are so annoying. She wins one fight against a tomato and people think she's a beast when in reality it takes year to get there
Respect ❤ What self believe and skills can do
Clarissa deserves so much credit she the only one to have the guts to go from Boxing to MMA late in her career 🔥🔥
Shields did great. She didn’t go to what she was comfortable with, she went to what she is learning to test herself. She probably didn’t want to win a boxing match IN an MMA fight. She want to win an mma fight. Sign of a champ.
😅 Fan boy much.. She was garbage as fuck. In UFC this wouldn't have been stopped. Inexperienced ref that knows jack shit about Jiu Jitsu 🤷♂️
I felt anxious for her, her athleticism helped her survive that fight, the natural length of the other fighter was an advantage that would have continued to drain and frustrate an inexperienced grappler. Good fight though. She needs to definitely work in her ground game, though. Congrats Clarissa m…
Didn't she mostly just box? I seen 1 kick she threw and no takedown attempts if im correct.
@@geemamma7424 and?
Tall girl only had tank downs but now power to actually hurt shields. She needed to keep her range outsmart shields with a high leg kick. Shields is a ball of power where tall girl only has leverage
*Great take down defense! Great coaching between rounds what kept her head on P! Also when she said, “momma, yo daughter a dawg!!” I felt that as a Flint neighbor and fellow Michigander keep it up* 👍🏾
Definition of heart of a champion. Much respect for both.
Amazing Inspired!
She almost put Elkin out in every round. Those crisp punches were something elkin never felt before you could tell. If shields can get better at takedown defense and getting back up to her feet she'll be in the ufc soon. That Boxing is at way to high of a level
facts
She needs to improve her grappling as fast as possible. Only having boxing skills in a MMA fight is suicide, and almost is not going to cut it. Just saying
@@nuffflavor for sure.
@@nuffflavor and Vice versa, just grappling, jui jitsu etc isn’t enough either, have you be able to throw hands as well, ala Rhonda rousey
@@smbeezy Well, kinda. Do not forget that Rhonda was queen bee with the lack of a superb boxing skills. Her down fall was not using her grappling skills and trying to win with boxing. 🤔. She became top dog with grappling. You ain't being no top dog with just boxing.
That was amazing shields coming back like that. When Malkin's head bounced off the mat during that sprawl, I knew she was done for.
That was amazing!
This made me cry at the end. Yo go Clarissa!
I will only watch Women’s MMA for Claressa now. Way to go CHAMP!!!!!!! ✨♥️
Did you enjoy her last mma fight 🤔🤦♂️
@@rebelp311 I did. It shut the hype men up. Stop hyping fighters until they fight a great fighter. That type of bandwagoning is why Conor McGregor and rousey got so much money for being can crushers
CLarissa lost her next fight
She’s hungry and still learning. Her journey will be more entertaining than the entire landscape of womens mma rn. All of the greats either aged out or bred themselves out of contention for ANYTHING noteworthy. It’s a wrap for womens athletics overall tbh
Even with the mistakes she showed POISE and CONFIDENCE in herself to WILL herself to victory once she develops consistent leg strikes to mix in with that punching power plus add a tough take down defense she gonna be a monster
I absolutely loved how she did get outside of herself, frustrated, doubt or do things out of the game plan. Loved the respect and attentive listening she gave her coaches in the corner and took all of the lessons form the first 2 rounds to mount a comeback!!! Great fight...even better WILL and PERSERVERANCE!!!
she even had a couple of legs strikes that surprised me - One thing that boxers have is incredible cardio and with her background she definitely has the work ethic to put in the work to learn the other styles necessary to be successful
That did not go the way I thought it would have, very impressive 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Absolutely brilliant !!!
Life is crazy no 🧢 anything is possible fr I remember watching Clarissa 5 years ago being like damn I wonder how’d she do in MMA n boom
Wow she’s a talented fighter she has a lot of heart ! She will be unstoppable once she gets her ground game up to par! We already know she can hit! Much respect to you starting MMA ! Great fight!!
lol she beat a girl that was 3-6.....stop it
@@hitemwitsalt8181 so what it was her deput in the sport and they described her opponent as being a veteran. Keep being a bitter h8er
The outcome was pretty predictable, the Gracie’s dominated early mma so you would expect someone just coming into mma from boxing to not fight a high level grappler in their first fight. I would call this a bad matchup but she displayed great striking, against another striker she would have probably been dominant.
@@hitemwitsalt8181 yeah a boxer went into another fighters comfort area mma… you want her to fight nunes next?
@@alexcasillas6973 lol.. Exactly.. these are humans, Not perfectly flawless machines (*Claressa, in particular) they need time to properly develop. *If the boxer (Claressa Shields) brings in New New Boxing fans to MMA
I was way tooo excited !!! This was so good
i love shields.. she is a powerhouse that does not quit! eager to listen and learn. i love her energy in and out of the ring💘
That was an awesome debut. She was thoroughly tested by a vet. Elkin would have won most matches with those take downs. Clarissa will learn a lot from this one. Future Champion
She have no choice but too period
No....
Speed is power and Claressa is so fast with her hands. Even though she kept getting bottom those two rounds i knew she'd be able to muscle herself to victory. Pure athlete. Good stoppage by ref Elkin's head was going to get split in the third.
I should really watch the video before reading the comments 😅
@@nameless6161 .6h😮😮.....
@@pyrammoise9995 I usually get 30 secs in and can't help myself 🤦♂️🤣
I thought they were both absolutely dreadful not much skill between either one of them
@@nameless6161 me too😂🤣
God Bless You Both Girls !!
They say women MMA is boring. This was very exiting. Mad respect for Claressa. What a athlete, what a warrior.
Claressa Shields is a beast ! If she gets little better on the ground, lil more Jujitsu then she is unstoppable ! Her arm shots are CRAAAZY !
She needs wrestling, not jiu-jitsu.
@@kallepikku4991lol ok coach
Clarissa will be unstoppable when she gets her ground game 💯. Great Debut👍🏽
Unstoppable?? Nah .. I’d say Frances Ngannou , Stipe Miocic or Jon Jones could stop her
riiiight. so what happened when a soccer mom beat her ass?
@@JB-fp5ud what a dumb comment.
@Juji-Gatame 🤡👍🏿💩
Same thoughts..improve her ground game, and incorporate a few kicks.. then she will be RAW
Am Kyekyeku Ben, ur greatest fun from Ghana. Keep it burning sis.
Grate job,
She is very impressive in her debut! Very hard hitting, standing or ground, beat a very good fighter!
A 3-6 record is not a very good fighter.
Elkin is an average fighter. Shields is a better fighter, even as a novice fighter.
I’m impressed by Claressa this is amazing she didn’t give up when on her back she showed poise good job girl
She was definitely scared and I don't blame her ... she got much respect for staying in the fight and giving it her all .. shit more than her all she summoned something deep down
Damn, hats off you to fighters, and congrat on the win.
Congratulations to both fighters for putting up such a great fight!!! 🥳🎉🎊👍🏾👍🏾🥊🥊
Exactly what I’ve always wanted to see a boxer in MMA cause I love MMA and boxing, but when I watch MMA I see so many openings in the MMA fighters game that I knew a well seasoned boxer would easily counter and Clarissa shields just showed that. The punch combination to the leg coming from Elkin immediately followed be a straight and hook to the top. That’s 🔥🔥🔥
@@heathjohnston4352 obviously needs more training MMA ain’t all about throwing punches this fight alone tells. But my point is incorporating boxing iq in MMA makes for a good counter when needed ✌️
Bro delete garbage !!! The announcer animal couture proved boxers can’t hang wit mma awhile ago..::: hence the toney comment
You cannot compare the 2
Isn’t that what Holly Holm was and is though? A multiple time world champion who was much better immediately when she made the transition, and who topped out as a champion in the UFC? The advantage Holm had though is that she had also been a kickboxer/Muay Thai champ, which has always translated better to the cage than straight boxing.
@@donchidichichi5545 I definitely agree with your sentiment as a fan. The level of striking and specifically boxing in general still has a ways to go
I have chills watching this!!! Powerful sister 💯 Its power in her fists! Damn
When I see Claressa Shields, I can't help but smile. She's so young and so confident and goes for it like her life depends on it. I'm so proud of her ability to back up her words. She bad!!!
I was actually surprised by the outcome. It looked like it would go the other way. But she really tested herself here and found a way through. Hats off to Elkin for putting up a good fight.
Stay surprised. She is the Gwoat… what about hands off to the winner.
That was INTENSE! Like the goddes of thunder in person! I hope i can see Clarissa live. RESPECT!👍
She’s a legit bad ass! Her striking technique is beyond elite, the way she turn her hips and creates power in a short cross and even her jabs is amazing. That curb stomp she pulled off with 1:57 left in the video was lighting fast and shows her potential of striking with her legs “ even though it was an illegal kick but she is new and they didn’t call it so good on her”. If she would have started training in mma 10 years earlier she would be a monster.
I watched for the stomp. It wasn't called because there was no separation between foot and head, thus rendering it more of a push down than an actual stomp. U gotta good eye to have spotted that btw. It was definitely tide changing
@@PancakeDiaries why thank u good sir. My vision sucks, i was probably taking shrooms that night like I am tonight and had that wavy vision if that makes since. It don't make since at all damn. Maybe my third eye caught the curb stomp. Well shit I am wasting your time...im a big fan of your work Pancake God...stay blessed my friend 🫡.
@@shotty5873 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I was on the shrooms, last night. Had a moment. 🥞❤️, and salute to u
It´s a great fight!
Her strength saved her more than a few times. Good on her.
I agree
A lot of power
Years and years of PEDs..
That right hand was landing solid every shot!!! Imagine her perfecting better legs kicks, 👍🏾🥊🥊🥊
She was supposed to let then hands go faster and chop dat girl ear to many pauses
When I saw Shields first few punches I really thought Oh oh for Elkin. This girl has serious power.
That Frankenstein Stance has me cracking up in the first round. 😂 Real skill for the win.
I really want to see Claressa try MMA again, she's such an icon and a legend to women's sports, also from my state.
She fighting in the PFL in November
She has, she lost.
@@brownamerican5786 okay and? She’s new to the sport and doesn’t have an amateur mma or grappling background… at least she has the heart to get in the cage and give mma a go
@@Dmvgold1995 I agree 💯. She s got pop in both hands too. And that is the only thing that saved her in her 1st fight. Did not save her in her 2nd. But she puts in the work and she could get there. She is a very hard worker. But I need to see more before I am all in on her MMA career. Boxing all in, MMA, time will tell. Hope she does well though.
@@Dmvgold1995 yeah exactly when most if not all boxers make mma athletes go to boxing. She stepped out of her element. Beast mode!
Amazing fight can't wait to see more from Shields overall great athlete.
Man this was awesome
This victory just brought tears to my eyes
I love this girl ...that part calling MAMA MAMA made me cry oooh shiiit....what a pure soul
jesus girl is strong, those punches!!! when she gets in her spot on top she does so well keeping it, elkin hanging on for life. great use of her hips to keep her legs behind her and pin elkin down. so impressive mad respect for her
If she even had a basic wrestling backgroun/defense, sheeeesh shields would be unstoppable. Only the beginning for her but damn! She’s a monster.
Right! Never Quit!!!
Amazing match ❤
she has a long wait to go yet with her ground game but she has learned so much already was surprised how solid she was. I mean she just started to learn...amazing
