In Brazil, a female MMA fighter won a match that went the distance. It was a contested fight:
The fight three months ago, in the Noxii championship against Renata Baldan, lasted the full five minutes and three rounds - with Novaes eventually winning by a unanimous judge's decision. Video footage shows Novaes receiving several vicious knees to her stomach during the fight, as well as being body-slammed on to the ground.
Turns out, she was pregnant and didn't know it until after the victory. Luckily, the child will apparently be fine.
I saw that. Pretty amazing.
