$0Friday night was the night that Women’s MMA made another mark into history, with more coverage and articles and being able to buy a match for online viewing and then watching another fight on Showtime just made the night even better.$0Tara LaRosa (18-1) against Valerie Coolbaugh (4-2) at the “Locked in the Cage” main event in Philadelphia Friday night was a great match that I got to watch, spending seven bucks on the fight was well worth it, also saw some great amateur fights before the main event. If you missed the fight for some reason you can view it here: http://mysportsgeeks.com/SportsGeeksBlog/valarie-coolbaugh/ $0Right from the start both fighters looked confident and of course the hometown crowd did not take to well to Valerie she moved on with pride and confidence and made me proud that I got to interview her before her fight with Tara. Tara according to my buddy MarQ-News Editor from fightergirls.com says that Tara is pound for pound #1 fighter in the world in the 125lbs division. I do have to say that I disagree a little, I still think Sarah Kaufman (10-0) is #1 in the world. Tara did a great job against Valerie and put her down 3:35 in the first round with a rear naked choked. Congrats to both fighters you made another dent in Women’s MMA! Keep up the great work.$0Another big fight was on Friday and it was a fight to remember, Kerry Vera (2-0) goes against Kim Couture (1-2), again if you missed the fight you can view it here:http://mysportsgeeks.com/SportsGeeksBlog/sportsgeeks%e2%84%a2-featuring-kerry-vera/.$0$0 Both fighters looked confident and ready to battle and a battle it was, right from the beginning both fighters were feeling each other out and then the punches flew, Kim stayed with her game plan and Kerry was backed up a few times and Kerry did say after the match “She hit me and I thought to myself I need to get going here”, Kerry then made Kim pay for that hit, she got the upper advantage closer to the end of the round with some great punches to Kim’s face and the right at 3:30 mark in the round Kerry finished her off with a flurry of punches and Kim goes down like a log at 3:35 mark and the ref had to stop the fight to protect the fighter. So overall Showtime put on a great show and that fight is in the history books now.$0Again check out Kerry Vera’s interview with SportsGeeks before her fight with Kim. Interview
