Filed under: News , UFC , Videos Anna Elmose has decided to walk away from her career as an MMA fighter following a unanimous decision loss to Amanda Cooper at UFC Fight Night 99 in November. Elmose (3-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC), who competed twice under the UFC banner and in just five professional MMA bouts overall, said she unexpectedly lost the passion to compete. Because of that, she has no desire to go on if the motivation needed to compete at an elite level isn’t there. “Panda” said she was driven for victory against Cooper in a UFC Fight Night 99 pre-fight interview with MMAjunkie , but once she got in the octagon, couldn’t execute the way she wanted and was outworked by Cooper over the course of three rounds. For her, the fight against Cooper was enough to realize a career in combat sports was no longer her best path in life. So she decided to announce her retirement via social media .

BAD MMA News — Fri, 18 Nov 2016 23:43:51 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos BELFAST, Northern Ireland – At UFC Fight Night 99, Anna Elmose becomes just the fourth fighter in UFC history to make the drop from the women’s bantamweight division down to strawweight, joining Valerie Letourneau, Jessica Rakoczy and Jessica Andrade. It’s a big leap between weight classes at 20 pounds, something that can only be compared to the gap between the men’s light heavyweight and middleweight. For some fighters, that would be too much to handle, but Elmose said it’s been less challenging than she originally imaged. “It’s going to be my first time fighting in strawweight division, but it’s definitely my division,” Elmose told MMAjunkie. “I have no doubt whatsoever that my body, I’m a totally different athlete.

In what proved to be one of the best female fights in MMA history, 19-year-old Angela Lee captured her first major title on May 6 at “ONE Championship 42: Ascent to Power” in Kallang, Singapore. The gifted grappler narrowly edged out former Deep Jewels titleholder Mei Yamaguchi in an incredible five-round main event to become the inaugural ONE women’s atomweight (115-pound) champion. Lee (6-0) earned her spot in the championship headliner by submitting five straight opponents for ONE during the past year, and she came close to becoming the first woman to submit Yamaguchi (15-9-1) early in their title tilt. After mounting Yamaguchi in the opening round, Lee locked on a tight guillotine choke in a scramble as referee Olivier Coste looked on intently.
