Kathy Long to step into MMA


Recommended Posts

Story: http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=9350&zoneid=13

After retiring from fighting as a five-time world kickboxing champion, Long at 45-years-old is set to return to combat sports, entering the MMA fray at Saturday’s Call to Arms Fights “Called Out” event at the Citizens Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif.

I found this particularly interesting. I can remember watching her movies when I was younger. I wish her the best, and hope that she does well.

I love watching Kathy fight; tremendous talent/skill. Anyone know what she's going to be paid?

BTW, On August 15, 2009 Kathy made her debut in Mixed Martial Arts, defeating Avery Vilche. Here's the story...

I use to follow her career when she was fighting when I was younger. Saddened when I heard she retired from kickboxing then kinda skeptical on her new move with mma.

Glad to hear though on her first bout she won. Hopefully I'll get to see her fight again. She really puts on a great show.

True. But Couture is still competing. If Long wants to compete, then she should be all means. I mean she's one a fight already.

And the other thing to consider is that just because some doesn't win, doesn't mean that they aren't fit to compete. It isn't as profitable as winning is, but it can still be done. The word has been that she still trains like a monster, and her drive is as high as ever. Might she lose? Sure. Might she win? Sure. When should she quit? When she wants to.
