Bellator 219 took place last Friday at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif., where Australian featherweight Janay Harding came away with a hard-fought unanimous decision over Marina Mokhnatkina for her second win in a row.
After the win, Harding (5-4 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) spoke with MMA Junkie to discuss her performance, including the moment the fight was “very very close” to being stopped when Mokhnatkina had her locked in a kneebar.
“If you’ve watched any of my past fights, I guess I’d say I’m a bit of an idiot when it comes to jiu-jitsu,” Harding said. “I’m not going to tap, just go until it breaks. Which is a pro and a con, I guess. I can really push until the last minute to make sure I can get out of that sub. … Unless that thing is going to start breaking, I’m not tapping.”
