TUBI CONTINUED… LINGERIE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS 27: SEXY, NERDY, INKED AND CURVY (2019) *** ½

Before getting into the action, the LFC commentary crew have to catch the audience up to speed with the fallout from the various post-fight skirmishes that occurred at the last Lingerie Fighting Championships event, Booty Camp.  Namely, the suspension of Coach Leon Hater and the news that “The Prez” of the company Maxine Frost, is stepping down.  Then, the action begins.

Fan favorite Lauren “The Animal” Fogle takes on newcomer Jesabelle “Fire Queen” Marie in the opening bout.  Next is Jenevieve “The Sorceress” Hexxx duking it out with Bella Ink.  That’s followed by Tomiko “The Temptress” Tajima vs. Jenny “Bloody” Valentine.  The LFC European Champ Jolene “The Valkyrie” Hexx then goes toe to toe with former LFC Champ, Monica “Flowerbomb” Garcia.  And finally, our main event is between Sheila “Crash” Cardinal and Katie “The Bombshell” Forbes, which goes the distance as both competitors give it their all.

Sexy, Nerdy, Inked and Curvy offers a couple of firsts for the LFC.  One, it takes place outdoors at the Neonopolis on Fremont Street in Vegas.  Also, it’s the first event to take place in a ring rather than a cage.  Additionally, the use of the new “Ref Cam” provides us with some… shall we say… unique views of the action in the ring.

I also liked the behind-the-scenes stuff with the gals using a local tattoo shop as their backstage dressing room area.  I kind of wish there was more of it.  Unfortunately, the acoustics of the outdoor event make some of the post-fight interview segments hard to hear.

Those are really minor quibbles overall because when the ladies are front and center duking it out, LFC 27 is a lot of fun.  Hexxx makes a great entrance, doing splits and chewing on the ropes.  Valentine has a lot of showmanship as well.  Garcia also makes a memorable impression as she enters the ring in a Mortal Kombat-inspired get-up.

The fights are very entertaining too.  Ink/Hexxx features a good clash of both style and personalities.  Tajima/Valentine finds both combatants fighting dirty to secure a win, but ultimately, respecting one another when the fight is over.  The Hexx and Garcia brawl starts out as a strong battle befitting two legends of the sport until some unsportsmanlike conduct causes the match to descend into total chaos (which is nevertheless very entertaining to watch).  The main event is full of fireworks too.

All in all, this is another winner from the good folks at LFC.
