Ten months after having her first child, a self-admitted Arkansas tomboy who was already a successful professional boxer heard about an opportunity in MMA.
Kim Connor-Hamby’s husband works in construction, and one of his younger employees trained in MMA. He asked Connor-Hamby, who mostly wanted to get back into the fighting shape she had worked so hard for before her pregnancy, if she wanted to tag along when he trained.
“I didn’t think I would ever be fighting anyone,” Connor-Hamby told MMAjunkie.com. “I just thought I would get the baby fat off.”
