“I think there was a huge mutual respect for the great match that we had,” Eala said in a post-match conference.

“She told me congratulations and she said, thanks for letting me be a part of this, which is incredibly kind and gracious from her. I think it's super gracious and a lot of respect for Caty.”

Eala also had plenty of praise for McNally.

“I think it was a really tough match today for many reasons, one being also that Caty is such a big fighter and I think she's got definitely some good weapons and, yeah, it was a tight one.”
