If Robertson is not capable of rinse, wash and repeat her favored course of right away within the first body, then I imagine that Lemos’ stinging counters and improved counter grappling could possibly be sufficient to interrupt down her opponent’s confidence (one thing we have seen from Robertson earlier than when she’s unable to get her recreation going in opposition to stronger foes).
