Fatal Femmes Fighting held their fourth show at the Shrine Expo Center in Los Angeles. They seem to be gathering more steam as when they had their first show, it was difficult to get any info online. Now they're starting to get recent coverage. Their first attempt at a show outside Los Angeles didn't work out but I assume they will try that again. There was a mix of experienced and less experience fighters but the main event was from two reliable fighters snd some of the undercard had interesting results.
The main event had Roxanne Modafferi defending her FFF Lightweight Title against Vanessa Porto. Roxanne is a US fighter who has been training in Japan the last few years and Vanessa has been on a good winning streak. It had been almost a year since Roxanne won the K-Grace tournament and she wanted to win this fight very badly. Roxanne began the fight with strikes. Vanessa took her down but Roxanne continued her offense while on her back when round one ended. Roxanne continued to display her striking in tound two. Vanessa took her down again but Roxanne's attempts at a triangle choke and an armbar kept her under control. Roxanne continued striking in round three and landed knees & elbows until the ref stopped the match at 53 seconds. Roxanne Modefferi wins by TKO.
The semi main had Brazilian Barbie Carina Damm against FFF regular Sophie Bagherdai. Damm is trying to establish herself as more than a pretty face against the undefeated Bagherdai. The first round had Damm trying various strike attacks and Bagherdai mostly staying away from her. But Bagherdai wasn't as successful in round two. Damm took her down with a double leg takedown and immediately mounted her and hooked an armbar for the submission at 1:52 of round two. Afterwards, Damm was offered a match on an ProElite card. I guess she's on her way.
FFF Heavyweight Champ Lana Stefanac wasted no time with Teyvia Reid and submitted her with an atmbar at 36 seconds of round one. She had beaten Reid before but Reid wanted a rematch. Lethal Lana left no doubt. It will be difficult to find opponents for her. Fan favourite Amanda Buckner was up against Smackgirl veteran Takayo Hashi. Hashi's only loss in her career was to Hitomi Akano and Hashi avenged that. Buckner's strength is her ground game so it was odd that the entire match was standing up. That was probably a mistake as Hashi won by unanimous decision. Buckner admitted the mistake afterwards.
In other matches, Canadian Alexis Davis won by unanimous decision over Liz Carriero. Sarah Schneider followed up her recent win over Kaitlin Young by using superior ground skills to get a unanimous decision over Ashley Sanchez. Sally Krumdiak came from behind to win a unanimous decision over Jamie Lynn. Breanne Vickers made her MMA debut on one day's notice and lost to Emily Thompson by TKO at 53 seconds of round three. Jenna Babcock won over Tammie Schneider by TKO at 1:05 of round one. Michelle Roody won her MMA debut when a combination dropped Franita Gathings and the ref stopped the match at 2:54 of round one. Tamara Parks won over Lina Koukov with an armbar at 2:24 of round one and Tierra Arnold won over Veronica Locurto by split decision. All four fighters were making their MMA debuts. It looks like a fun show and I like that FFF continues building momentum. We're all looking forward to the next show.
