Knockout of the Day: Sheila Bird Sleeps Christina Barry in Just 11 Seconds at AFC 12


(Put her in a body bag! No seriously, could someone please dispose of that corpse as quickly as possible? I’m starting to feel queasy.) 

No, that is not a screenshot from The Ring, that is the aftermath of the last time we saw Sheila Bird compete in this thing we call MMA. It took place back in July of 2011 against Kim Couture, and using the combination of a leg scissor choke and some of the worst referee negligence this side of Marius Zaromskis vs. Andrey Koreshkov, Bird not only came away with the win, but provided one photographer with the opportunity to stare into the fleeting remnants of Couture’s soul before she stole it. It was the first documented case of Shang Tsunging in WMMA history.

What are we going on about? Well, Ms. Bird stepped back into the octagon last weekend, and although the end result was nearly as horrific for her victim this time out, it was equally as decisive. Bird needed just 11 seconds to pack Christina Barry’s lunch and jam it down her throat brown bag and all at AFC 12 on Friday, so head after the jump to check out the brutal finish.

First off, Barry should’ve known she was in trouble the moment “Surfin’ Bird” came over the speakers. You see that, Andrei? THAT is how you incorporate your name/nickname into a song correctly; you stick with the classics. Now get back in the studio and find something that wouldn’t make Patrice Wilson blush.

Anyway, skip to the 6:10 mark for the beginning of the fight, then see how much work you can get done on that damned Penske file before it ends. My guess is none. With the win, Bird improved to 3-0 as a pro with all three wins coming by first round stoppage.

Kim Couture Back in Action at AX Combat “Execution”

Well, we guess Kim Couture didn’t pick up MMA fighting just to relate to her husband, ’cause Randy Couture divorced her in 2009 and she’s still putting herself out there, despite previously always looking like.

Kim will be facing Canadian, Sheila Bird in Calgary at AX Combat “Execution”. Bird holds a (1-0) pro MMA record while Kim Couture has a spotty (3-4) record. Couture’s record seems to alternate between wins and losses so by losing her last fight, she may be due for a win here, but Bird is a 3 year straight FILA Grappling World Champion and the “first Canadian female Black Belt” according to MM-eh. Whatever you think about Kim Couture, she seems bent to challenge herself with real competition. AX Combat “Execution” will take place on July 8th at Calgary Telus Convention Center.
