Kendra McIntyre Delivers Knockout of the Year Contender at LFA 182
Kosport Magazine – 08/15/2021
In the world of mixed martial arts, there is nothing quite as exhilarating as a perfectly executed knockout. And at LFA 182, strawweight fighter Kendra McIntyre delivered just that, cementing her place in the conversation for Knockout of the Year.
In front of a packed crowd in Sioux Falls, S.D., McIntyre faced off against Katarina Legorreta in what would turn out to be a brutal and unforgettable fight. Both fighters came out strong, but it was McIntyre who ultimately emerged victorious with a stunning head kick in the third round.
The knockout was nothing short of picture-perfect, leaving the audience in awe and solidifying McIntyre’s record at 3-1 as a professional. But this win was more than just a victory for McIntyre, it was a redemption after a controversial disqualification loss earlier this year.
In January, at LFA 174, McIntyre was disqualified for an illegal kick to a grounded opponent. It was a tough blow for the 28-year-old, but she bounced back with determination and proved her skills in the octagon at LFA 182.
For Legorreta, this was her first loss as a professional MMA fighter. She had previously earned a stoppage win and a decision victory for Urijah Faber’s A1 Combat promotion. But on this night, it was McIntyre who reigned supreme.
With this impressive win, McIntyre has firmly established herself as a rising star in the strawweight division. And with her sights set on bigger and better things, we can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next.
