How the hell did Chookagian stay on her feet after that kick? Seriously, how the hell did she stay standing?
That kick should have sent her to the promised land. Instead, she just stumbled for a moment before regaining her composure.
Ultimately, Chookagian still lost the fight. After all, Shevchenko is one of the best fighters on the planet. It was an uphill battle for Chookagian from the start.
Still, the fact she managed to stay on her feet is insanely impressive. Props to her for not going down when I think 99% of us reading this would have been in the hospital after that kick.
