The Warriors Cup XI event recap

By Arthur N. Noan

Alison Mayfield vs. Jenna Serio
 Serio wins by split decision, winning the judgement with her multiple takedowns. Mayfield's strategy utilized her leg length against the smaller Serio by kicking mostly throughout the fight, but Serio knew how to use her low center of gravity to maneuver her opponent off balance and onto the mat, including 3 in the first round and another 2 takedowns in the second. Although Mayfield adjusted by using the clinch more often, it was still not enough to deter the relentless Serio who never slowed her pace during the match. 
  
Joanne Dimeo vs. Julianna Chahoud
 Dimeo initially came out aggressively in the first minutes of the first round leading the assault with her punches. But the burst of energy led her to tire which Chahoud capitalized on with her kicks. The second round was similar to start of the first and once again Chahoud took advantage with kicks and also attempted more clinches which added to Dimeo's waning energy. Nearing the end of the fight the style of attack was reversed with Chahoud throwing more punches and Dimeo more kicks. The outcome however was a unanimous decision in favor of Chahoud as Dimeo absorbed too many punches rendering her less effective in launching a counter.
