Looking at the bars, I don’t understand this decision. Dern looked to be taking more damage throughout the fight. I guess she did some damageless things the judges liked, like sub attempts and takedowns and stuff, but it felt like she did little to actually damage Maia, compared to what JenMa did to her.
