Here's the fight video of Mandy Bohm vs Ji Yeon Kim from yesterday's UFC show in Charlotte, NC. This fight is at Flyweight. Mandy is 33 years old from Germany and she trains at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas with Dennis Davis. She's 0-2 in the UFC. Kim is 33 years old from Korea and she trains at Syndicate MMA with John Wood. She's 3-6 in the UFC and she's on a four fight losing streak. Neither should be in the UFC. They were supposed to fight in February and Mandy got sick during fight week and the fight was cancelled. As a result, Kim was unable to attend her grandmother's funeral. She was still upset about that and that cost her this fight. After Kim wobbled Mandy with a jab early in round one, keeping the fight standing was going to be the way for her to win the fight as Kim is a better striker. Instead she let Mandy goad her onto the ground where neither is any good. Kim won round one 10-9. Wood told Kim to keep the fight standing but she didn't listen. Then at the end of round two, Kim kicked Mandy after the bell. The ref deducted a point though it took too long to do it. Again Wood told Kim to keep it standing. And again she wouldn't listen. And then she landed a knee to Mandy's head while she was down. That's another deducted point. And then Mandy couldn't continue and because the fight was in the third round, the judges scorecards determined the results. Mandy won by split decision because of the point deductions. The whole thing was a fiasco. Check it out for yourself.
