"Grasso connected with a left hand, tagging Barber. As Barber went down, almost doing a splits, she spun around, and Grasso jumped on the neck, locking up the rear-naked choke."
"Barber was already done, the finish a knockout not a submission with the ref already on the way in, but Maycee was barely conscious and wound up chasing the leg of the ref, thinking the fight was still on."
"To be fair to ref Mike Beltran, he wasn't slow getting on top of things- the finishing sequence simply happened that fast."
"As for Grasso, a huge victory for the former champ, who called for the UFC to visit her hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico."
