The Ultimate Female Fighter and TUFF for Life, a non-profit organization, are putting out a calendar to help benefit female fighters.

From their website:

“Tuff for Life” is dedicated to serving female ring-based fighters (MMA, Muay Thai, Boxing, Kickboxing, BJJ and Wrestling) who are in need of emergency medical care, emergency travel expenses, or to cover the cost of fight gear, training/gym services, tournament fees and/or fight-related travel expenses and more.

Besides the selling of the calendars themselves, there are several ways you can help out.

There is also voting for who should be on the cover of the calendar. For more info go to TheUltimateFemaleFighter.com.

This is a great idea! I'm curious as to how they'll divide up all of the money? There are a lot of fighters out there. Or are they starting a fund that fighters will apply for grants from?
