Yeah.

So she's trying to create space and get me off of her, but I have the choke and I know that I have it.

And so I am hanging on and I've been in all kinds of positions, upside down, north, south, like you name it.

I mean, there's not a position on the ground I haven't experienced.

So her trying to throw me off from a standing back position was like, just like a fun little rollercoaster ride, you know?

I just rolled right through, flipped, and I still had the choke.

And then it was a few seconds later, she was punching the air because she was dreaming.

And then the... She was out.

Yeah, she was out.

And she didn't tap.

And the coaches, not the coaches, excuse me, the referee pulled me off.

And then I realized that... You'd won.

I was the new UFC bantamweight women's world champion.
