At an event in Brazil on March 28th, Larissa Schroeder fought a male opponent in an amateur MMA exhibition bout. The promoter recently detailed how it came about:
I asked her if she wanted to fight Fernando Lemos, who is her training partner in my gym, so she would know how it feels like to fight in a cage,” Benedetto told MMAFighting.com. “They are training partners and are used to spar. I don’t think it was a big deal. That’s what they do every day in the gym. It was almost a demonstration.”
The fight only lasted 53 seconds, and Schroeder won via technical knockout.
“As soon as she hit Fernando and blood started to come out of his nose, the fight was over,” Benedetto said. “The referee was a friend of mine and I asked him to stop if one of them got hurt. It was just a one-round fight. No big deal. People are trying to make it sound a big deal in Brazil because I joked about it on Facebook, saying that she knocked out a man and was ready to sign with the UFC. No big deal, man.”
At Evolution SF Fight in Brazil last weekend, Larissa Schroeder’s opponent pulled out last-minute and the promoter had the idea to give her an exhibition fight with a man, which she won by TKO in :53 seconds. Full story here: http://hyperurl.co/vv91gz
