Congratulations to Lisa Higo from Straight Blast Gym UK for winning the GFight Summit! Higo is a kickboxing star who I believe still holds the WAKO pro title. I will be writing more about her in the weeks to come.
Check out this amazing fight from October '07; Sarah Kaufman vs. Ginele Marquez!

Women's MMA Updates
LOTS of good stuff going on lately.
There were some recent interviews of Julie Kedzie and Kim Couture on Fox News which were quite interesting if you had the chance to catch them. Nice to get some publicity for women's MMA.
Also, I am writing for 8 Count News. My latest installment is an interview with Josh Barnett, the Baby-Faced Assassin, in which he discussed women's MMA in depth--and I didn't even ask him about it! I also wrote a bit about Chevelle Hallback in my MMA's rising stars piece.
There are a TON of great fights coming up, including the GFight summit, which includes an 8-woman 115# tournament and will be broadcast live.
Some real rock stars will be fighting this month, including Tara LaRosa, Marloes Coenen and Meisha Tate. February is shaping up to look like a great month for women's MMA as well, with Erin Toughill, Felice Herrig and Cyborg fighting, plus the Jewels promotion and a bout between Valerie Letourneau and Kate Roy.
Stay tuned!

Chevelle Hallback defeats Melissa Vasquez
Chevelle "Fist of Steel" Hallback is back!
This girl's been boxing since 1998 with a record of 27-5-2. She's also the starring running back and linebacker for pro female football league Tampa Bay Force. Add some BJJ and wrestling to the mix and you've got an all-out brawler!
Hallback defeated Melissa Vasquez via TKO in 41 seconds, round 1, at XFC. Check out her training video and keep an eye out for this star!
