Tara LaRosa may not have been looking for trouble, but it found her over the weekend – and she has the bite mark to prove it. LaRosa, an MMA veteran who competed on Season 18 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” spent her Sunday at a flag-waving rally for Veterans Day weekend in Portland. She was there alongside members of Proud Boys, described on on Wikipedia as a “far-right neo-fascist organization.” When an anti-Donald Trump protester got involved, that’s when things got out of hand. Here’s video of how it started : NEW video from yesterday’s altercation at the Veteran’s Day flag wave in Portland, OR over I-84. She failed to start a fight w/me, so she chose someone else. In this video she clearly attacks another woman & throws the first punch

They were supposed to fight two weeks ago in an intergender sparring bout until it got cancelled, but Tara LaRosa and a male internet troll finally handled their business Monday night. LaRosa (22-5 MMA) and Kristopher Zylinski (no MMA experience) were set to do this in front of an audience until the athletic commission in Florida reportedly showed up with police to shut it down . It happened anyway, though. And, well, here you go (via Facebook ): The point of this, at least for La Rosa, was to test a theory: How would a man in relatively good shape but not trained in MMA fare against a trained female MMA fighter? In short: No significant strikes were ever thrown, and Zylinsky was forced to tap out twice.

What kind of person wants to watch a woman fight a man?

BAD MMA News — Fri, 12 Jan 2018 17:06:36 +0000

There’s hardly a single thing about it that sounds like a good idea, beginning with the name – Gender Wars MMA. Then you get to the meat and potatoes of the pitch: Tonight (early Saturday morning in Russia) in a venue that event promoters have described as “a warehouse outside of St. Petersburg,” a woman named Tess Barrall will fight a man identified only as “Trent,” in a bout where the winner will supposedly receive $1 million . Take a minute and let that sink in. Barrall isn’t a pro fighter

On the baffling beauty-first approach of the UFC’s ‘TUF 20′ ads

BAD MMA News — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 19:01:14 +0000

So I’m sitting at home on Tuesday morning, having just returned from a vacation in the wilds of Maine, and I’m catching up on my DVR’d MMA. I’ve got some Bellator MMA, some UFC, plus Invicta FC waiting on the laptop whenever I’m ready. Throw in a cup of coffee, and you have yourself a pretty perfect weekday morning, at least by my standards. Then I start seeing the ads for Season 20 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” which premieres tonight on FOX Sports 1 (10 p.m

Meet the trainer who turned a dump of a gym into an MMA powerhouse

It’s 9 o’clock on a Wednesday morning, and Greg Jackson looks like hell. He looks like he’s still at home asleep, like his body got up and came to the Jackson-Winkeljohn gym on Acoma Street without the express written consent of his mind or spirit. It’s not his fault. It’s the energy drinks, a habit he’s been trying, however casually, to quit. Julie Kedzie sees it. Jackson’s longtime student and now his full-time personal assistant, she does everything from fetching gear out of his car to serving as a sort of walking external hard drive, the living memory bank that reminds him where he’s supposed to be and what he’s supposed to be doing
