Former UFC fighter Kay Hansen opened up about trauma she says she experienced during her rise as a youth athlete to a teenage professional fighter and beyond. “My successes and struggles have all been in the public eye for many years, but everyone has a story behind the scenes,” Hansen wrote on social media Tuesday with a link to a new mini-documentary video. “I was raped/SA [sexually assaulted] by my father as a teenager for years. Fighting/training was my escape, and the only form of reality I really had control over.” The 23-minute video project created by the team of Jorge Barbosa , Cynthia Vance and Mark Johnston , among others, in conjunction with Invicta FC released Tuesday. The documentary paints a harrowing and emotional journey that led Hansen to separate herself from her father, who served as her longtime coach, and emotional relief and a rebuilding process afterward. “I never spoke up about the abuse I endured due to the fear of repercussions that may follow,” Hansen wrote

BAD MMA News — Sat, 15 May 2021 04:14:43 +0000

Eleven finishes in as many pro victories, Kamuela Kirk kept his streak alive in the LFA 107 main event. In his first LFA headliner, Kirk (11-4) defeated fellow Dana White’s Contender Series alumnus Daniel Swain via TKO due to retirement in between Round 2 and 3. Swain (20-11-1), who had lost in between rounds on DWCS in 2020, uttered the words “I’m retired” to his corner, which indicated to the LFA commentary team that Swain’s fight Friday would be his last. Swain took off his gloves for the decision but was not interviewed post-fight and thus did not provide clarity on the situation
