Just a week after EBI 4, Cora is already up on the tournament scene again. This time we took a 16 hours road trip from LA to Denver, CO for Fight 2 Win Colorado Open. She was in 6 divisions in 4 weight classes where she battle with other 12 year olds from the 90's to 140 lbs..... and she came out with 3 Golds and 3 Bronze. Here are a few of her No Gi matches.... enjoy.

So frickin' badass!!! How'd she handle the elevation change in the Mile High City?
Sadly, not too well. She did great at first but as the competition progress, she was getting tired and was slowing down alot. Or maybe it's because one of the wrestler boy gave her an elbow that busted her mouth up or maybe going up into the absolute division was too much for her. Not sure, but she did have 13 matches that day.Quote:

In any case, she killed it, regardless of the conditions. Props to her.
Incredible rubber guard, that triangle/armbar from side mount bottom was pretty cool.
What is Omaha?
That is basically her go to move now when someone get side control on her. Go to double C cup and then feed the leg through. Either get a sweep or a triangle from there.Quote:

Omaha is my highest % finish on skinny dudes. I've got skinny legs, so if they don't have a deltoid, they kind find space(if their good).
You bypass the leg(standard) to underhook the far hip and obtain a body lock. Hip in and squeeze. Ultimate angle, ultimate leverage.
But now, anyone with a respectable squeeze, should be able to finish with double crown control, squeeze. As long as he's not 30 lbs on ya.
Yeah I was about to say that....LOL thanks Bobby...:) It was the missing ingredient in Cora's triangle game. So when at HQ, Derek Rayfield taught Cora this move. It was the first time we had a chance to call out that play since he taught it to us.
I love Cora's style! Keeping it real against the boys, and just running rubber guard clinics.
Damn, she is back where she left off, wrecking boys with her rubber guard, fantastic performance :-)
Thank you master eddie. Here is a little clip in your honor.https://youtu.be/d01WdSVhmloQuote:
