Round 1: Lengthy flurry lands for Edwards in the opening seconds. Pudilova shoots a double from too far out and eats a knee for her trouble. Lots of volume from Edwards already. One minute in. Pudilova answers a low kick with a knee. Much better level change puts her on top in half guard. Heavy shoulder pressure. Two minutes in. Pudilova not throwing much from the top. Edwards regains full guard, controlling Pudilova’s posture. There’s a nice little GnP flurry from Pudilova. Two minutes to go.
Edwards kicks her off, can’t make enough space to stand. Pudilova goes back down into half guard. Good pass to side control, but she rushes a move to mount and allows Edwards to stand with a minute to go. She wades into the clinch against the fence. Edwards tries a late throw. 10-9 Pudilova.
