UFC Fight Night 99

Amanda Cooper and Anna Elmose will meet at UFC Fight Night 99, the promotion announced recently.

Cooper and Elmose are both searching for their first Octagon win after dropping their debut fights.

In her first UFC fight, Cooper (1-2) was bested by Tatiana Suarez in the finals of THe Ultimate Fighter 23. She earned wins over Jamie Moyle and Lanchana Green to advance to the tournament championship.

Elmose (3-1) was 3-0 before making her Octagon debut and losing via knockout to Germaine de Randamie at bantamweight. This marks her first fight at 115 pounds.

UFC Fight Night 99 takes place November 19 from Belfast, Northern Ireland and is expected to stream live on UFC Fight Pass. Gunnar Nelson vs. Dong Hyun Kim is the planned main event.

It’s beyond safe to say that the UFC made a thunderous Netherlands debut with today’s (Sun., May 8, 2016) wildly successful UFC Fight Night 87 from the Ahoy Rotterdam in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

That was largely due to three knockout wins by three of their home fighters in Alistair Overeem, who demolished former champion Andrei Arlovski with a highlight reel kick, Stefan Struve, who knocked out Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva in only 16 seconds, and Germaine de Randamie, who demolished Anna Elmose with a first-round onslaught of knees.

The card also featured a bevy of other exciting finishes, furthering the success of the first-ever UFC card on Dutch soil. Watch the fighters discuss the thrilling event in the official post-fight press conference here:

Knockout of the Day: Denmark Fighter Anna Elmose Tops Off a Violent Shellacking With a Curtsy

(Props: MiddleEasy via Uproxx)

The victory celebration is as important and iconic a moment in mixed martial arts as it is in any other sport — just think of or Tito Ortiz’s gravedigger routine or Chuck Liddell’s iconic open-arm-run-around-the-ring-screaming thingy. It’s a facet of victory that can not only serve as a fighter’s trademark, but one that can even heighten the atmosphere of a fight after the climax has already come and gone (phrasing). Say what you want about the guy, but Thiago Silva‘s knockouts wouldn’t be nearly as badass without his celebratory throat slit. The same goes for Gabriel Gonzaga‘s “HULK LOVE CAMERA!!” verbal attack.

At just 2-0 as a professional, it appears that Denmark-based bantamweight Anna “Panda” Elmose has already learned the correlation between signature celebrations and marketability. After viciously KO’ing her most recent opponent, Elmose opted for a victory routine that I can only describe as equal parts avante-guard and Canadian. She curtsied, Nation. She curtsied while her opponent laid unconscious in a puddle of her own spit and disappointment. Think of it as the anti-Tank Abbott, if you will.

Personally, I would have preferred to see Elmose link her nickname with her celebration and engage in a post-victory munching of a bamboo stalk, but then again, I’m not the one going viral today.
