Kendall completely dominated Tracey

@@danielwhite2427 for the first 2:45 min, kendall was mostly dominating herself. Tracey was attacking and kendall wasn't allowing herself to respond in any way that would make those attacks a legitimate threat. She maintained her balance and control of herself. After 2:45, we start to see her leverage the top position afforded by tracey's low impact style. Blah blah blah. Kendall needs to work on her submissions. Her positioning and weight distribution are both phenomenal but her lack of concern regarding the ability to finish with a submission is crystal clear. She can maintain control until she starts going for a submission. This also causes tracey to fight back. It's no longer just an issue of positional control, it's jeopardy of life or limb. She reacts in kind. Kendall loses the position and has kicked the wasps nest. It's not that Kendall is bad, she's just got more experience in no-submission contests, aka wrestling. Why fix what ain't broken unless the concern is showmanship?

@@danielwhite2427 (she's gonna need to drill subs the same way she drilled wrestling in college or else that mindset is always going to win out)

One last thing and then I swear I'm done- drillingnsubs and learning to chain them together will also help her defense cause she'll know more when there's an attack waiting beyond the initial attack, like when she lost to clay with that violin armbar

She needs to work on finishing but she still physically dominated tracey
