The best and worst of the Mae Young Classic episode 6

Best: Strikes vs. technique

This was a nice contrast between two styles. It was the grappling and mat technique of Deonna Purrazzo vs. the striking ability of Xia Li. Both women played their parts perfectly, though Xia Li was arguably more impressive.

For someone with little experience, she put on a tremendous performance. There were numerous false finishes to take the match up a notch as well, including Xia reversing one of Deonna's armbars.

Deonna eventually picked up the victory with a nasty looking double fujiwara armbar, but it only came after much effort.

Both women looked great here. Xia Li is ready for NXT television. She's improved a lot in the last year.
