The Brazilian Garcia defeated Polish fighter Maria Malyjasiak in the over 60 kg finals via guillotine choke. Garcia got a darce choke over Japan’s Yurika Nakakura in the quarterfinals, and an Americana over the USA’s Tammy Griego in semi-finals. Griego would get the third place finish by decision over Fernanda Mazelli.
