Araujo on the fight’s key moment
“I executed the game plan perfectly. I capitalized on her boxing and waited for her to make mistakes. Utilizing takedowns was my strategy to keep her on the defensive. It’s immensely satisfying when the plan works. I am overjoyed for myself and my team. Apart from patience, maintaining distance was crucial in this fight. We noticed her tendency to close the distance with her boxing and muay Thai, so I patiently waited for her to overcommit.”
