Both athletes came out aggressive from the opening bell, locking horns in a fast-paced exchange. Dhuivetter quickly pressed the action, driving Hedgecoth toward the fence with forward pressure.

The pace didn’t let up. Both grapplers scrambled back to their feet, but in the chaos, Hedgecoth exposed her back. Dhuivetter wasted no time, leaping onto her opponent’s back and locking in a standing rear naked choke. In a desperate bid to break free, Hedgecoth executed a backward slam, bringing both athletes to the mat—but Dhuivetter maintained her grip with relentless control.

Momentarily, Hedgecoth was able to shake the hooks loose and fight her way to a turtle position, but Dhuivetter displayed impressive grappling awareness. She quickly re-secured the back, locked in the choke tighter, and forced the tap—all in under one minute.

It was a statement win for Dhuivetter, showcasing not only her finishing instincts but also her ability to stay calm under pressure and capitalize on fleeting opportunities. With performances like this, the strawweight division in XFA BJJ is heating up fast.
