The 3 minute rounds definitely favored the strikers, while the grapplers could never mount any real offense. After they had worked 2 minutes for a takedown, the round ended as soon as the fight landed in their domain. All things aside, I am truly all for equality in Womens MMA. If they are to be held so meticulously to same standards as men (making weight, drug testing, etc.) then the womens fights should hold the same equal standards. I am excited about this fight, we've all been waiting for it for some time. This is such a good thing.
