CALIFORNIA-Today at the Abu Dhabi Trials held in California, American MMA fighter Lana Stefanac tapped out her opponents in under three minutes in all but one fight, and won by a 4-0 decision over Tammy Griego after a 20 minute dual. Now she will represent the country in the Abu Dhabi Tournament on December 27th in Barcelona.

What started out as a distressing situation, brought the FURY out of the fighter, after a last minute struggle to come up the funds to compete; Due to lack of information provided to potential contenders, across the board, reguarding the selection process.

This was the only female tryout the ADCC hosted this year. And offered only two weight classes for females to compete within, which is unsettling to many fighters as it may deem some matches unfair….Keep fighting the good fight for equality ladies. Congratulations and good luck, to go along with your hard work Lana. We’re proud to have you representing the U.S.A. in Spain; Bring the pain!
