What was left of the attention in MMA was mainly fixated on last night’s (Fri., September 22, 2017) UFC Fight Night 117 from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, but a rising female fighter quietly kept making a name for herself with a second consecutive first-round KO.
Perhaps it wasn’t so quiet on second thought, as undefeated flyweight Sabina Mazo became the talk of the internet with a vicious head kick KO of Linsey Williams at last night’s Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) 23 from Louisiana. The knockout cames on the heels of her last fight at LFA 9 last April, where she also scored a first-round head kick knockout of Jamie Thornton, becoming a viral sensation for the first time.
It’s already happened again.
With the earth-shaking KO, “The Columbian Queen,” who hails from Medellin, ran her record to an undefeated 4-0. Watch her latest high kick knockout here:

The notoriously brutal sport of MMA certainly has its own unique way of making fighters who taunt their opponents pay for it in the cage.
Such was the case at last night’s (Fr., June 2, 2017) LFA 13 on AXS TV from Burbank, California, where a fighter got a singing case of karma after taunting his opponent. The scene unfolded with light heavyweight Jordan Powell absorbing a few shots from his opponent Dominick Reyes and shaking his head to act like they had no effect on him.
Whether they actually did or not is irrelevant, however, as Reyes landed an earth-shaking head kick shortly thereafter that shut out Powell’s lights before he even hit the ground. Check out the the vicious knockout via AXS TV Fights’ official Twitter account:
Two of the premier regional promotions in North America have come together, as Resurrection Fighting Alliance and Legacy Fighting Championship have formed Legacy Fighting Alliance.
The new promotion will begin in 2017 with 30 shows planned for AXS TV.
“AXS TV is proud to broadcast the LFA to help create MMA’s premier developmental league,” said Mark Cuban, founder and CEO of AXS TV, in a press release. “AXS TV FIGHTS’ expanded 2017 lineup builds on AXS TV’s 13-year, 336-fight legacy as ‘Your Home for MMA’ with more live mixed martial arts and kickboxing events than any other TV network.”
Current Legacy FC champions will meet current RFA titleholders to crown the first LFA champion in each weight division. Legacy FC’s Mick Maynard was recently introduced as an executive with the UFC.
To open up more hours for the live events, “Inside MMA” will air its final show on September 30. The program debuted in 2007 and featured Mauro Ranallo, Bas Rutten, Ron Kruck and Kenny Rice.
“INSIDE MMA blazed the trail for mainstream media’s acceptance of MMA,” Cuban said. “Bas, Kenny and Ron were there from the start, introducing the sport and its stars to a national television audience when other networks and newspapers were too afraid and out of touch to recognize its appeal.”
