the chick fights...

Huh? Dom never defeated Jason Statham.

C'mon now! Rhonda and Gina may have been trained fighters who both had like 50 lbs on Letty, but she's an auto mechanic, so of course she dominated them.

We never saw her fight though (in 8 and 9). And there was no real reason for her to show her fighting skills until that scene with Momoa. 9, she was pretty much locked up the whole time. 8, she had more resources and men, so she could've conserved her energy and let others do the fighting. She's probably like Yoda. Only fight when necessary. Yoda doesn't really need that cane to walk, but he chooses to use it to throw off his opponent and make them think he is weak. That's how I looked at things. Actually, I never called BS when she started to fight. I figured she always had it, but never really needed to use those skills until she did. Plus 10's marketing helped since they heavily showed the Letty and Cipher fight. So the scene with Momoa wasn't too much of a surprise.

That was so cringeworthy.
