Alexis Dufresne vs. Marion Reneau
Round 1: Chris Tognoni is the referee in charge. Both fighters open orthodox and Dufresne takes center of the cage. Both fighters throwing one-twos, but Reneau connects with a hard right straight. Dufresne scores an outside leg kick, but pays for it with a right over the top. Dufresne’s chin is high in the air and it’s causing her to get drilled over and over. Dufresne shoots with no set up. It doesn’t work, but she’s able to clinch and push Reneau against the fence. Nothing happens before Reneau creates separation. Strong front kick and two outside leg kicks land for Reneau and already Dufresne’s face is a mess. One-two scores from Reneau and Dufresne is rocked. She follows up with two more shots, this time to the body. Dufresne survives, but Reneau is throwing huge shots, including an uppercut that partially lands.

Round 2: Dufresne shoots again, but can’t get the double and drives a knee into Dufresne’s midsection. Somehow Dufresne lands a right hard, but she’s still moving poorly. Reneau has slowed down a bit, but is in no trouble. In fact, as I type this, she tags Dufresne with another right. Hard outside leg kick from Reneau. Dufresne pulls half guard, but Reneau is able to stand up and back out. Stiff jab from Reneau and then a left hook over the top. They turn and turn in the center of the cage, but Reneau is almost scoring whenever she pleases.

Round 3: This fight could’ve been stopped already, but they’re letting it go. Dufresne lands an outside leg kick, but is back on the defensive from at outpouring of punches from Reneau. Reneau goes upstairs with a left head kick, then cracks Dufresne with an outside right low kick. Checked kick from Reneau and she blitzes forward with a barrage of punches. Dufresne eats two crisp jabs and tries to pull guard, to no effect. Four-punch combination finds the mark for Reneau, who is now mixing up her combos. And again it happens. And again.
