Alberta Ampomah had the chance to come back into the battle as Yasmin maintained her so focus. The later in last two minutes pulled harder pinning Alberta to the pad to win the second battle to record a two straight win.
Defeated Alberta in a post-battle interview insisted on being the best and thus threw a challenge to the new champions for a rematch.
