Jinh Yu Frey captured the prize she has long pursued.
The Genesis Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu representative laid claim to the vacant Invicta Fighting Championships atomweight title, as she posted a contentious unanimous decision over Minna Grusander in the Invicta 30 headliner on Saturday at the Scottish Rite Temple in Kansas City, Missouri. All three cageside judges scored it for Frey: 49-46, 48-47 and 48-47.
It was not without controversy. Grussander employed an attack that relied on relentless forward pressure. She routinely marched down Frey with punches, pressed her into the fence and uncorked short elbows at close range, one of which opened a small cut near the Texan’s hairline.
