Good for her, I guess but bad for the Bantamweight division. Hopefully she'll be back as quickly as she says:

Results from last night's RIZIN fights, per Robert Sargent of MMA Rising, great site for WMMA coverage:

Here are two of the more high-profile female fights, if anyone's interested. Commentary is in Japanese:

The Bellator boxer turned MMA fighter Heather Hardy who had a lot of hype behind her just got humiliated by the novice 0-0 girl Kristina Williams who was making her debut. The rookie Kristina kicked the crap out of her and left her a bloody mess. The referee had to stop the one-sided beating.







This is the winner Kristina Williams:

This was supposed to be an easy fight for Heather Hardy as they were building her up in MMA but she ended up completely destroyed by a 0-0 girl.

Does anyone know how long Heather Hardy has been training MMA? I briefly read about some of this prior to the fight and she was built up as a new star in MMA, but I didn't see much about Kristina.

She was scheduled to have her MMA debut in January 2017 (her opponent pulled out though and she made her debut later in July) so I guess a year and a half at least?

The thing is, Bellator was trying to protect her and build her up slowly, that's why people expected her to win. They brought a 0-0 girl so that Heather could win another fight. The problem was that this girl turned out to be much better than they thought and not only won but also completely dominated and abused Heather. I think she might have given her a career changing beating as she broke her nose and gave her a lot of damage. I don't know how Heather can come back after that, she's not exactly young anymore. She'll need some time to recover physically and mentally from a beating like that.

I think you are absolutely correct. They made a poor choice in picking her opponent, as Kristina was no slouch. Damn, Heather really took a beating and the fight didn't go that long. I hate to see anything like that.

Just watched the fight on Spike (tape delay).

Fun fight and I presume Williams also comes from a striking background. Her style looked to be a mixture of Muay Thai and Taekwondo, which the commentators said she has a black belt in.

Always a risk when you fight someone relatively unknown as there are a lot of good women out there that struggle to get fights.

Another thing was that Hardy looked noticeably smaller, like there could have been a weight class between them. I wonder if she could make 115 or if Kristina is just a big flyweight. I just checked her amateur record and 2 of her amateur fights were at 135.
