The poster below was for the first ever women's Mixed Martial Arts card which was held in Evansville, IL on April 13, 2002. I'm very proud to have been a part of such an exciting and historical moment for women in MMA. It truly was a once in a life time experience! You'll find me at the bottom row, in the middle. And to my left, was my opponent Shannon Hooper.

A few photos from my glory days as a competitor!

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tournament

This was my very first MMA fight which was held on an Indian Reservation in California June 2000. In my corner I had my trainer, Ralf W. King coach me.

This is Bas Rutten. He was my trainer for a few years, and coached me on my 2nd MMA fight in Texas in 2000.

This was me winning 1st place at the Pan Americans in FL 2002. It's one of the biggest competitions in the U.S. I was so thrilled to have finally one this one! So was Marcus!
