LaTasha Marzolla wins again

I don't normally write about amateur fighters but there is a lot of interest in LaTasha Marzolla because she has been in Playboy. She had her second amateur MMA bout on Friday's Tuf-N-Uff show in Las Vegas. Her oppenent is Kate McGray. LaTasha does have an extensive Muay Thai background. She was trained by Master Toddy and currently trains at Xtreme Couture in Vegas. Fortunately, the Tuf-N-Uff folks are really good about getting their matches online so here it is for your viewing pleasure. LaTasha won by unanimous decision. My assessment is she simply looked stronger than Kate and landed more shots in the first two rounds. Kate seemed to pick it up a bit in the third round but she needed to do more in the first two rounds. This fight was at 125lbs but I'm sure LaTasha could fight at 135lbs very easily. I expect her to turn pro in 2010. Enjoy the video!

  1. I saw her first fight also, I think she's a very decent fighter and has a lot of potential. You're right she could go to 135 easily, and she'll have to if she wants to get any better matches and make a name for herself.

  2. Depends on what she wants to do. Remember Bellator has plans for a 125lb tournament featuring Rosi Sexton and probably Rin Nakai. Strikeforce isn't the only game in town.
