“When I heard the fight was at the Forum, I said, ‘That’s amazing,'” Justino said. “That's where I lost my title, and that's where I can fight for another one. It felt like something important for me.”After surviving some rough early stretches and eventually asserting her physical dominance, Justino ended it with a flurry of kicks and punches on the fence. “That's why I call her the greatest fighter of all time in the female divisions,” Bellator President Scott Coker said.
