    Not so far, but keep your fingers crossed, eh?

    In the interview vid, she says she considered becoming a Coast Guard rescue swimmer before going into MMA. I'll bet she gives good mouth-to-mouth.







    Sorry, I had to.

    Full episode of Countdown to UFC 141, for those who don't get Fuel TV. Dunno how long it'll last.

She won a bronze medal in judo at the '08 Olympics at 70kg in the repechage bracket (judo awards two bronze medals), becoming the first American woman to medal in Olympic judo (and the apple didn't fall far from the tree: her mother was the first American woman to win a world championship in judo). She also has a Pan Am gold medal and a Worlds silver medal. She was the youngest judoka at the 2004 Olympics, at age 17, and won a Junior Worlds gold medal.

    24 years old, 5' 6", fights at 145 lbs, although I saw something about her maybe dropping to 135. She's from California, a student of Gene LeBelle and trains MMA with Gokor Chivichyan's crew in Santa Monica - Manvel Gamburyan, Karen Darabedyan, Sako Chivitchian and Sevak Magakian (Karo Parisyan used to train with them too, but I don't think he does anymore).


    cyborg would destroy her

    Countdown to UFC 141 is up on YouTube again. Get it while it's hot. I imagine Zuffa will have it yanked any moment now...

    Diaz-Cerrone should be a barn-burner too. It's always hard to know what's hype and what's genuine, but supposedly Diaz dissed Cerrone at a public appearance event, even before they knew they were fighting each other. And the Cesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and Jackson's Submission Fighting teams could be developing an interesting rivalry; Nick Diaz is fighting Carlos Condit in early February, and Jake Shields is fighting Yoshihiro Akiyama in late February (I'm not sure Akiyama is a full-time Jackson's guy, but he's trained there in the past).
