Howard v. Corso III and New Management
Better late than never, right? Let's get up to speed... On October 11th I fought a very skilled opponent for a third time, and for a third time I came out on top. Katie Howard and I were the Main Event for Prime Fighting IV-- a killer promotion that was stacked with fast-paced professional and amateur MMA fights.
Highlights: I submitted Katie via RNC at 2:02 min into the 2nd round. (In our two previous fights, I beat her with an armbar and an RNC). We also took Fight of the Night (sponsored by Metro Equipment Exchange) and had the honor of being Prime Fighting's first ever female Main Event. Additionally, I came away with a ridiculously large title belt and the privilege to call myself Prime Fighting's Female Flyweight Champion.

I haven't had a fight in or even close to Portland for over a year, so I was overjoyed to get to have friends, teammates, sponsors, and fans in the audience to cheer me on this time. Trying to beat up a stranger, while locked into an oddly-shaped cage, is even more fulfilling when friends are present to support you.
Sometimes I have to ask myself, how did life get this good?
I am very grateful to Prime Fighting for setting me up with that match-- as well as to my friends, teammates, and sponsors who supported me leading up to and during the fight.
In November, I was thrilled to add another excellent person to my team when I signed Bryson Davis of Meyer Davis PLLC as my manager. He is a fellow Reed College graduate and MMA aficionado who has already helped me dig into some great opportunities.
Speaking of opportunities, stay tuned for a BIG announcement coming VERY SOON!
