Scary situation Saturday night as Stephanie Eggink was knocked unconcious in only 1o seconds after taking an overhand right by Kaline Medeiros at Beatdown MMA in North Dakota. Reports from Eggink’s camp stated that she got a stage 4 concussion and can’t rememeber much of the night. However an MRI showed no bleeding or permanant damage. We wish her a speedy recovery.

Finally, in a semi-pro bout in England, Kerry Maserati defeated K.C. Kendall by via submission (Ground & Pound) round 2.
