Lara Procopio
Capable of pumping out a crazy pace, Lara Procopio drew great praise after rising to the occasion against Karol Rosa. It was a shame then when Procopio was dragged into a pedestrian wrestling affair against Molly McMann the very next fight. A chain wrestler who eventually finds one that sticks, Procopio needs to learn to dictate fights on her own terms.
Casey O’Neill

A relentless grinder on the feet and mat, O’Neill’s breathless volume frustrates opponents while masking her frequent attempts to take the fight to the mat. The more process-driven wrestler in the bout, her rounded game benefits from clear game-planning.
