Lisa Ward Defeats Aisling Daly by Unanimous Decision
Just watching a great fight and it was good all the way, but in the third round you can see both fighters were tired, if Lisa wants a chance against Megumi Fujii she needs more stamina or endurance.
All three rounds were given to Lisa Ward as Aisling Daly tried to work from the ground but could not get out from being on the bottom, both fighters were throwing excellent punches but Lisa has amazing strength was able to over power Aisling and get good take downs, just like you see in Miesha Tate.
So now the table is set as Zoila Frausto vs Jessica Aguilar and Lisa Ward vs Megumi Fujii dates for the Ward vs Fujii will be announced at a later date and will post accordingly…
