Gi 🥈
Heaps of lessons learnt and some superrr tough matches, thanks to all the girls who gave me some of my toughest rounds yet 🫶

Nogi felt super strong and sharp just lost on points to a really skilled grappler in the finals of absoloute!! Gi come up short just wasn’t mentally ready still only lost by decision in the finals, but it’s okay no excuses and we come back better and stronger with no foot injury next time 😂

Thanks to all my coaches from @core_mma @carlo_meister @chris.heke for preparing me and being amazing all the way through, my s&c coach @cal_harper_ feeling stronger every single time!!

NIKKO SMITH • BJJ BLUEBELT • Congratulations to the big dawg @nikkosmith6 on picking up his BJJ bluebelt tonight. A couple of rounds into MMA conditioning shark tank and still escaping every round like a beast. Plenty of blood, sweat and tears gone into that one I’m sure…
