BAD MMA News — Sat, 23 Sep 2017 02:37:31 +0000

There’s a lot to like about Korean strawweight Chan-Mi Jeon . For one thing, she shares a nickname with a toy that can’t be knocked over . For another, she likes to express herself in the universal language of guttural screaming. There was plenty of the latter in Jeon’s prelim bout against Syuri Kondo at UFC Fight Night 117, and while she lost the close fight via split-decision, she definitely made herself heard in the process. For starters, there was her pro tennis player-esque shout with nearly every strike she threw.
