Smilla Sundell, 21, has 40 pro fights and is a Muay Thai background fighter in MMA

They looked at her MMA record and thought she was inexperienced. She looked at her 40 pro fights and half of them finished by stoppage, and probably laughed. Fighting in small gloves builds a different kind of toughness. She ate shots tonight and kept pressing forward without flinching. That's not luck — that's a résumé doing its job. Don't sleep on Muay Thai backgrounds.
