Kelsey Arneson of Trials MMA got the weekend started at LFA 90
where she took on highly touted prospect, Tabitha Ricci in her
pro debut. Arneson didn’t come out on top when the fight went to
the judges score cards, but she took to social media after the
fight to let her fans and supporters know that she will use this
as a great learning experience. Watch out for what’s next for
Kelsey Arneson.


On Saturday night, UFC Vegas 9 took place at the UFC Apex center
and two of Colorado’s Team Elevation athletes fought on the card.


First up was Montana De La Rosa who put her warrior spirit on
display, fighting in a competitive back and forth striking
affair. De La Rosa’s opponent was able to land a bit harder
during the exchanges and the judges felt that it was enough to
take home the decision. De La Rosa moves to 11-6 as a pro after
the loss.


And in the Main Event, living legend Alistair Overeem lived up to
his nickname once again as The Demolition Man picked up the 47th
