that was worse than Cindy's gnp last weekend on Bamma
I expected Dern to be stronger in these clinch situations, but maybe that's because she's used to training with a Gi.
I don't know if it's so much strength as a complete lack of technique. Her posture was pretty terrible and she had no concept of how to keep a base or use grips. Could be the gi vs. no gi as you said, but man, that was some pretty ugly clinch work.
maia has the better standup, aga has good takedownsMaia has good head movement. She lost the round, but she seems the more technical fighter (on the feet). On teh ground I can't tell.
