Key Highlights

• Lynch scrambled for match dominance, but even after some stiff forearms to the chest, Dupri's fire continued to burn bright in Brooklyn.

• The champion's insistence on her tried-and-true submission, however, pigeonholed her, and the challenger's experience allowed her to worm out of the hold every time.
• Dupri's limited moveset and in-ring inexperience couldn't have been more apparent when she cinched in yet another Ankle Lock, only for Lynch to bridge over and, with the help of a hand on the ropes, cover her for the three-count.
