Marloes Coenen was probably just as pissed as I was that Muxlow was ranked so high, albeit in a thin division, and rightfully wanted to prove my anger. Outclassing Muxlow everywhere. Taking it to her on the feet. Then, getting the beautiful armbar over the BJJ Black Belt. Continue Reading »

“Claudia broke her nose in five different places and had to have surgery,” said Knapp. “I can’t name names yet, but we’ve got a few solid potential replacements to fight Carla.” And that replacement is Australia’s Bec Hyatt. Fellow Australian, Fiona Muxlow, received the call to fight Marleos Coenen at Dream.18, and now Bec Hyatt gets the opportunity to fight for the Invicta FC 115 Pound Title against Carla Esparza.

However, I believe Yamaguchi’s hard ground and pound in the 2nd round should have made this a draw (or do they have the Ultimate Fighter style, 3rd round if necessary?). Continue Reading »

Fantastic interview done by the beautiful people over at ASIANMMA. They have other interviews with JWMMA fighters, such as Fujino, V.V. Mei, and Yamanaka. Very intimate setting. The fighters look like they are at ease when conducting these interviews and the atmosphere makes it feel like the fighter is speaking to you. Shout out to, whoever did the interview and the translator. Continue Reading »

We’re just about done with 2012 and on the edge of yet another stacked INVICTA FC card, which takes place January 5th and can be streamed live on Invictafc.com. It’s been a crazy year for WMMA with the massive rise of Ronda Rousey becoming the first UFC Champion. In addition to headlining UFC 157 against Liz Carmouche, also a first for women. However, this announcement was bittersweet for me, due to my new found love for Invicta FC.
