Bodog Fight women's title fight: Tara Larosa vs. Kelly Kobold
Women's MMA fights are working their way onto major MMA cards. This fight is yet another example of this. I don't know if the two fighters coordinated it but Larosa is in all white and Kobold is in all black. Larosa is from New Jersey and is the clear crowd favorite.
The first round is a close one. Kobold appears to be the better fighter standing up but Larosa scores a couple of takedowns though she doesn't do much from the top position. I give the round to Larosa for the takedowns.
The second round has the fans on their feet. Kobold starts the round with some punches and takes the fight to the ground and controls with ground-and-pound. However, Larosa is able to reverse, assume full-mount and pound away at Kobold for the second half of the round. Larosa almost finishes Kobold with an armbar but the bell saves Kobold. Second round to Larosa.
In third round, Larosa scores a couple of more takedowns and top control switches between the two. There is less action on the ground as the two fighters are tiring. Kobold catches Larosa with a couple of knees to the head standing up before Larosa scores another takedown. Again, I give Larosa the round based on the takedowns.
Kobold scores a takedown to start the fourth round. Larosa returns the favor a minute or so later. On the ground, Larosa is able to end the fight with a successful armbar submission.
Official result: Tara Larosa wins at 2:50 of the 4th round by armbar. She is the first-ever Bodog Fight women's champ.
