Nathiely de Jesus vs Gabrielle Garcia

Gabrielle Garcia came out working from a standing position to pass the guard of Nathiely de Jesus at WNO 6, while consistently attacking the feet throughout the 15-minute match. Nathiely showed solid footlock defense, using Garcia's submission attempts as opportunities to come on top and initiate her own passing game. This back-and-forth dynamic kept the action moving for the full duration.

Both competitors found themselves deep in heel hooks and straight ankle locks at various points, though neither was able to secure a finish. Late in the match, a tight ankle lock attempt by Garcia exposed her back, and Nathiely took the opportunity to take a dominant position. Garcia eventually escaped, but the back exposure likely influenced the judges' decision in an otherwise close match, with Nathiely de Jesus, a former Cicero Costha pupil, earning the nod.
