Win Methods
Piera Rodriguez, better known as "La Fiera", brings a 12-2 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as women's strawweight, every single win matters.
Wrestling is the skeleton key here — 4.5 takedowns a round on average. Everything opponents want to do standing gets interrupted, smothered, and dragged to the canvas.
The form line is loud: 3 straight wins, the latest over Sam Hughes (Decision - Unanimous). Momentum like that forces the division's hand.
