Here's the match video of Josefine Knutsson vs Isis Verbeek from last night's Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS) in Las Vegas. This fight is at Strawweight. Both fighters are kickboxers. Josefine is 27 years old. She trains at Allstars Training Center in Stockholm, Sweden. Alexander Gustafson is one of her teammates. She was a K-1 kickboxer before getting into MMA. Her MMA record is 5-0. She won a fight on Road to UFC last year in Singapore and that got her a shot at a UFC contract. Isis is 28 years old from The Netherlands but she trains at MMA Masters in Miami. She was with Glory Kickboxing before she got into MMA. Her MMA record is 4-1 including a 1-1 record in Invicta so I have seen her before. Josefine wobbles Isis with a head kick early in round one. But instead of going for a finish, she decides to clinch with her on the fence. That was a huge mistake. If she wants that UFC contract, she has to go for the finish. Josefine admitted in her post match interview that she played it safe. Very stupid. I thought Josefine won the first two rounds and faded in the third. So she won the fight but did not get a UFC contract because she chose to play it safe. Enjoy the video!
