TALKING WOMEN’S MMA

I was a featured guest on Cage Cast 66, and Zak from Watch Kalib Run and I talked about women’s MMA the whole entire episode. Make sure to check it out.

UPCOMING FIGHTS

The undefeated Sarah Kaufman (10-0) is taking on top prospect Takayo Hashi (12-1) in this title bout at Strikeforce Challengers Series 6 in San Jose. Check out the fight breakdown on MMA HQ.

Superstar Kelly Kobold (16-3-1) is fighting Jessica Kinetz (1-2). Kobold has been out of the fight scene for close to a year and a half and has lost her last three bouts but is looking to make a comeback, starting with this match at Brutaal MMA in Minneapolis this Friday.
