Woman Defeats Man In 53 secs

AS the debate about whether UFC women’s champion Ronda Rousey could beat a man continues to rage, one woman has proven its possible.
Larissa Schroeder, an amateur fighter in Brazil, squared off and beat male opponent Fernando Lemos last month.
According to MMAfighting.com, Schroeder was scheduled to make her mixed martial arts debut on March 28 only for her female opponent to pull out at the last minute.
So her coach, Cristiano Benedetto, asked her if she wanted to fight Lemos to get a feel of what it’s like to fight in a cage.
“They are training partners and are used to spar,” Benedetto told MMAfighting.com. “I don’t think it was a big deal. That’s what they do every day in the gym.”
Benedetto had no fear of Schroeder getting hurt and was justified when she finished the match via technical knockout — after just 53 seconds.
After a number of exchanges, Schroeder started landing repeated blows with her right hand, forcing the referee to step in as Lemos turned away and stopped fighting.
“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.”
The fight has been a major talking point in MMA circles in Brazil and prompted one promoter to offer Schroeder $1000 to make her professional debut.
