Watanabe fakes a front kick and gets Lee to drop her hands, and follows it up with a brutal right hand that clips her cleanly on the chin. Lee goes down hard and while the ref was arguably quick to step in, he inarguably saved her from a further beating from the veteran.
Ah, the good ol’ days…
It’s not clear whether or not this was a one-off fight for Watanabe or if she’s going to come back in earnest to show everyone she’s still the best. Either way, I’m excited.
