Women's MMA superstar Tara LaRosa has a fight coming up Mar. 29 for Extreme Challenge against Sally Krumdiak. I'll talk about that in a moment but first I finally got my hands on a video of Tara's match against Alexis Davis from January. Tara was idle for quite a while and admitted to some ring rust. That big AFL contract sure seemed like a good idea at the time but that hasn't turned out so well. As I'm sure you heard, Tara won the fight by TKO in the third round. She won the fight anyway. Canadian Alexis Davis was unknown but she turned out to be a tough opponent. Tara won round one. She tagged Alexis and then kept her down for the rest of the round. But Alexis came back in round two and seemingly had Tara in trouble with a guillotine choke. Tara said afterwards she wasn't in trouble. I agree with that but Alexis scored enough points that Tara really had to take control in round three. She did that and the ref stopped the fight due to a cut to Alexis. I expect Tara's next fight to be a little easier. Sally Krumdiak is from Seattle and her record is 5-1. Her background is in Muay Thai and she hasn't fought anyone nearly as accomplished or experienced as Tara. Her last win was over Val Coolbaugh at the June 28 MAX MMA show in Toppenish, WA. This is uncharted territory for Sally Krumdiak. Can Tara LaRosa get back to the top? Sure. She's one of the best fighters anywhere. After Strikeforce owner Scott Coker concentrates on signing Gina Carano, he should look at Tara. She's a money fighter and he can build a lighter weight division around her. And though Tara would like to fight Gina, I wouldn't do that. So enjoy rhe fight. BTW, the commentary is horrible. If you're going to do a live broadcast, hire professionals instead of your brother-in-law.
