Road to UFC

Josefine faced Ye Dam Seo (South Korea,) on a ”Road to UFC” event in Singapore, June 10th,
2022 and won the bout via unanimous decision.

Round one
”Tentative introduction from Thunder where she controls the distance in the cage.
She lands a heavy leg kick about a minute into the round before Seo dives for the takedown, but Josefine sprawls hard and shuts down the takedown attempt. They end up in the clinch where Thunder look for gaps to sneak in attacks. Something she succeeds in.”

Round two
”Thunder starts more aggressively and it slams before Seo tries to take down again,
but Josefine is far too strong in the clinch.
Seo ends up on the ground and Josefine sends an illegal knee to the head.
She stops herself a bit in the movement, however, which means that she gets away with a verbal warning and not a point deduction.

The round resumes and Seo is desperate to get a takedown. But Thunder is strong in the clinch and punishes with knees.

”…As they separate a bit Josefine lands a proper head kick that lands cleanly, but Seo stays.

Halfway into the round, Josefine gets a takedown from the clinch, she lands in Seo’s guard.
She controls the position and puts in some ground and pound, but she is still vigilant in not giving too big gaps defensively. Thunder passes to half guard and lands a few more punches before the round ends.”

Round three
”Thunder takes the center of the cage in round 3 as well. It’s sometimes a bit wait-and-see, but once they get within range,
Thunder sends out heavy attacks. Seo really gets nothing done. Seo goes for the takedown but Josefine stops it and ends up on top herself briefly where she lands a bunch of smaller punches to Seo’s face. Then they end up to the clinch.

Josefine has complete control in the match.”
