After a brief period of feeling out her range against Brianna Smith, the undefeated amateur let her hands and feet fly. Rokala connected with her first shot while the other was blocked, but Smith backed away with urgency. As Rokala closed in, Smith covered her mouth with one hand and signaled the referee with the other and the fight was promptly stopped.
Those watching live were instantly confused as to why the bout came to a close, but it soon became apparent Smith decided to quit because her mouth was full of vomit. That's right folks. Smith tapped to the barf.
While Rokala wasn't able to put in a long performance, her win on Saturday night will go down as another impressive--and memorable--finish for the upstart North Carolina native.
