It was a cagey affair until Diamante dropped O'Hara with a big lariat. Harlow connected with a few strikes, but Diamante baited her into the corner for a leaping dropkick.

She followed it with a Russian leg-sweep, a running no-hands splash, and a standing sliced bread.

Diamante then locked in a half straight jacket submission for the win.
