Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Kay Hansen vs Jinh Yu Frey

Here's the match video of Kay Hansen vs Jinh Yu Frey from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. Both are Invicta veterans making their UFC debuts. This fight was just announced a few days ago. A total of four fights that were supposed to be on this show got cancelled which is why I am not writing about fight announcements anymore. Too many changes. Jinh is 34 years old from Arlington, TX. Her husband Doug Frey is her coach. She is a former Invicta Atomweight Champion. But she was having trouble making weight so I expected her to move up to Strawweight. At her age, she is more suspect than prospect especially since she's not an aggressive fighter and she doesn't finish fights. Kay is 20 years old. She trains at 10th Planet in Fullerton, CA. I like her especially on the ground and she likes to finish fights. She probably needs to improve her striking. And you could see that in round one as Kay had trouble establishing her range and she couldn't get a takedown. Jinh was not dominant but she did enough to win the round 10-9. Kay made adjustments and she got a takedown in round two. I didn't think Kay was in a good position to try a submission. So she rode it out and won the round 10-9. I like that she didn't try to force something that wasn't there. Kay won with a very slick third round submission. After taking Jinh's back, Kay turned it into an armbar. When Jinh blocked it, Kay switched to a triangle to distract Jinh and then switched back to the armbar. That was very smart. You'll notice Kay has a cut over her left eye. I think they butted heads during the finish. Excellent win for Kay in her UFC debut. If she can continue to improve and stay healthy, she has a promising future in the UFC. Enjoy the video!
