But for the April “Knockout of the Month,” we ran into a doozy. It’s hard to forget that insane elbow Mike Perry (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) dropped on Jake Ellenberger (31-13 MMA, 10-9 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 108 – especially given it was an elbow that probably made Ellenberger stop remembering things for a while. But Sabina Mazo (3-0) had a gorgeous head-kick finish of Jamie Thornton (4-3) at LFA 9 that put her in the running.

While the head-kick finish of Jamie Thorton (4-3) ended what was only the third fight of 20-year-old Mazo’s (3-0) undefeated pro MMA run, it certainly attracted some serious eyeballs. Add to that the stamp of approval of a well-established camp like Kings MMA and a competitive combat sports background , and the hype train could be on its way out the station. But Mazo says not so fast. As confident as she is that her skills and training will get her far, she is simply in no rush to get there. “I want to take it with calm,” Mazo told MMAjunkie Radio
