Chiasson doubled over and hit the mat, and the referee stepped in to stop the fight. Aldana prolonged the advance with clever elbows, but Chiasson ultimately scrambled her way there. Aldana wisely attacked a leg and used the moment to sweep on top, but Chiasson started to make her way to the back. Chiasson was looking to utilize her length to open the match, but then was the one who initiated the clinch. Chiasson opened the second act with some urgency, going after Aldana behind her strikes, which opened up her takedown. The final frame is where the ultra-rare up kick to the body landed, causing Chiasson to fold up and fall to the floor.
