In the 3rd round, the advantage gradually shifted to Kara. She achieved full-mount on Elena, forcing her to defend herself. During one of Elena's attempts to dislodge Kara, the Moscow guest capitalized on Elena's unprotected neck and executed a flawless choke.

The Second Fight Kara Teller vs Tais

Tais defeated Kara in the first round with an aggressive attack primarily consisting of kicks, many of which missed their mark. The fight went to the ground, where Tais secured the dominant position.
While wrestling on top, Tais attempted an armlock. Although Kara managed to free herself, she exposed her neck to Tais, who capitalized on the opportunity and won by chokehold.
