Press: Who Are the Ladies of Pain?

Interview with Lana Stefanac, USA liaison/manager/captain for Team USA-Ladies of Pain
By Astrid Bidanec from Women Fighters Monthly

Lana:

I formed The Ladies of Pain - Team USA because women, in order to be taken seriously, need to be respected for their ability to fight and compete, which is in my opinion, being accomplished by promoting an all female card.
Currently, women are always under cards, even the well known fighters who have established themselves. Its also my opinion that a women’s fight organization will produce its own stars and give women in different weight divisions a chance to accelerate their career. As it stands, ALL women are expected to or are forced to compete in the 135lbs-division. This is ludicrous.
