The rematch between Tecia Torres(8-1) and Bec Rawlings(7-6) was won again by Tecia with a unanimous decision which was also the outcome of their last fight for TUF 20 back in 2014. After the fight Tecia said she felt a little rusty after a long lay off and thinks she needs a few more fights than what she had last year. She put in a dominating performance that could make for a shot for fight of the night contender.
Bec Rawlings came into the fight looking ready but did not have a game plan for Tecia. She could not get anything together for Tecia’s quickness with the punches and the kicks that Tecia poured on in all three rounds. Bec looked slow and tired out in the last round which done it in for her to give Tecia the fight. The street brawling that she’s famous for has run out and does not work on a fighter like Tecia who is just in a different class than Bec. Bec who is now 2-3 with the UFC may have seen her last fight with the promotion may have to move on to greener pastures with regional promotions in the future.
Congrats to Tecia on her win and hope that she moves up in the rankings to make her case to become a contender for the Strawweight title soon.
