Here’s the latest edition of the awesome all-women MMA extravaganza, Lingerie Fighting Championships. The opening card finds newcomers Ruby “The Booty” Vuitton and Ziva Fey duking it out. Next, we have “Hotstuff” Hollie Dunaway and Bella Rockafella going at it in an all-out bra… er… brawl. Former LFC champ Monica “Flowerbomb” Garcia squares off against “Sinister” Shay Lynn in a powerhouse performance by both competitors. The next battle is between Jenny “Bloody” Valentine and Danika “Dani” Della Rouge, and it’s nearly just as frenetic and rife with drama as the match that preceded it. That’s followed by a rematch of LFC 36 fighters Bella “Rebel Princess” Madisyn and Sheena “The Hungarian Hurricane“ Bathory, and it’s quite simply an all-out war. Teri “Feisty Fists” London and Kyra “Mogwai“ Batara are up next, and their bout features a good display of wrestling and grappling skills between the opponents. It all ends with the main event between Salina and Katie “The Bombshell” Forbes.
LFC 37 is a more intimate affair as the fights take place in a smaller venue (READ: A strip club), but at least the sound and camerawork are better than in the previous installment. (READ: There are lots of close ups of jiggling derrières locked in highly suggestive grappling positions.) The play-by-play commentators are also very entertaining. (One even quotes Karate Kid 3’s Terry Silver at one point.)
However, the spotlight really belongs to the competitors. They are some truly fine athletes in addition be being drop dead gorgeous. The most memorable entrance belongs to “Sinister” Shay Lynn, who shoots sparks out of her cast iron strap-on. (Yes, you read that right.) The fights are among the best I’ve seen in the LFC. The rematch between Madisyn and the Hungarian Hurricane has all the drama and intensity you’d want to see from a return bout, with action happening both inside and outside the ring. The main event is another rematch, and while it is a close fight all the way through, it almost feels anticlimactic next to some of the more grueling bouts that preceded it.
I’m thinking specifically of the Dunaway/Rockafella fight. It is one of the most entertaining fights I’ve seen, not just in the LFC, but in general. It’s full of showmanship… er… showwomanship from the fighters and contains some truly great moments. (Like when Hotstuff hops up and down on Bella’s upper torso.) It all culminates in a shocking and controversial fashion, and I would expect nothing less from the LFC.
I smell rematch.
