Great news. Another real prospect in the strawweight division.

Bellator really missed out on this, she could have fought at Fly for them and done kickboxing for them.

Glory and Invicta is a good deal for her and she's fighting at 115, maybe looking at a UFC run down the road.

I do wish she was focusing just on mma though, full time doing mma to make a run in UFC but kickboxing is what she's best at and she can make money in both sports.

Dont know if she will ever make a real run in mma, sort of like Spong.

I mentioned in the kickboxing forum that I was really surprised that she didn't sign with Bellator Kickboxing being a pretty American girl. Although now that I see she is going to be competing in MMA in Invicta FC instead of Bellator, maybe that option was closed to her and so she signed to fight in Glory for kickboxing.

Big news. Didn't think she'd ever make the crossover.

 

[Max Power]

She's nice looking.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Invicta and Glory? Excellent.

I think she's got her eyes on the UFC eventually. I don't think there's any doubt Bellator made a play for her. Same reason Mackenzie Dern signed with Legacy.

Lol.... Who?

 

[Kinger85]

good looking woman.

never seen her fight before though.

Lol.... Who?

She's a very good female muay thai fighter and kickboxer who has fought in Lion Fight on AXS TV and elsewhere in the 120+ pound weight classes. I think she can eventually be a UFC title challenger at strawweight if her defensive wrestling gets good enough.

hmmm let's see her in MMA. i like her Kickboxing style but we all know kickboxers that make the crossover take a while to adapt.

 

[Arkain2K]

Awesome, awesome news! I'm glad she wouldn't have to deal with Lion Fight's late payments anymore!

This division is filled with excellent strikers, and I love it!

 

[Akabignasty]

She better work on her ground game.

 

[Heelhook71]

Pretty sure she's just started grappling training. So I'm not expect much from her in MMA for the next couple of years. Her kickboxing fights are always entertaining though. She's a great striker.

Lol.... Who?

A marketable, cute, Muay Thai champion that has fought for Lion Fight (Muay Thai org that Cyborg fought in on AXS TV) and just got signed to Glory Kickboxing and Invicta at the same time.

She broke Huyer's nose with that kick then landed a left hook before the ref stopped the fight.

LOL.... Noob!

I miss the days when Sherdoggers actually were embarrassed to admits their ignorance, instead of jumping into a discussion just to announce they they know nothing about the subject matter.

 

[Vinzr]

Only just turned 27 and so she has a bit of time but I wouldn't suspect that she'd be making her MMA debut any time soon. Hopefully we get to see a lot of her though, I'm a fan of her style

The only thing lamer is when people post randomly in threads to ask what time a card starts. For fuck sake go the appropriate website online and figure it out for yourself. Why do you expect someone else to do it for you, covert it to your time zone and spoon feed you the answer?

She's been training with Esparza for years. Hopefully she learned the ground better than Esparza has learned striking, and that's coming from a Cookie Monster fan.
