Here's all the details:
BRACE 17 PRESS RELEASE
(SYDNEY 25 SEPTEMBER 2012 8.30am)
BRACE GIRLS FIGHT CARD ANNOUNCED
BRACE CEO Kya Pate today released the full card for the October 27th
All Girls MMA fight event scheduled for the Gold Coast. This event is a
historic event for Australian Mixed Martial Arts. It is the first time in the
country’s history that this type of event is being staged. Women's MMA is still
a growing sport and has been overshadowed by men’s MMA globally. It has been no
surprise though that WMMA would continue to grow and gain more of the
spotlight, especially considering the amount of interest that has been shown in
Gina Carano, Rhonda Rousey and Miesha Tate over the last year or so.
Women have been competing on events like BRACE, Bellator, and
Strikeforce for a number of years now, but it’s still rare for a full card to
be made up completely of women. Events such as Jewels in Japan and Invicta FC
in the United States have shown that there is a great deal of interest in WMMA
and they have paved the way with full cards of women competing. BRACE known
within Australia as one of the major players, being the only Australian event
to stage in 7 cities over 4 states and with a heavy 2013 schedule looming, they
have certainly played a major role in pioneering the sport "Down
Under".
Kya Pate recently interviewed by No Gloves stated the reasons behind
a full card of women competing “…girls would train
as hard as the guys if not harder and it was very clear to me what this
sport meant for their empowerment and enjoyment of life, so I suppose that
was the main driving factor". Not only have BRACE decided to host a full
card of women they have gathered together 95% of the country’s best calibre
female competitors along with two Japanese Jewels stars. Fighters like Fiona Muxlow
a great jiu jitsu champion and MMA fighter, Leanne Reid a champion Muay Thai
fighter, Bianca Elmir and Australian Boxing Champion, Alex Chambers &
Claire Fryer arguably regarded as the best 115's in the country amongst other
notable females competing within Australia. BRACE will also feature two
Japanese stars with Mika Nagano & Rina Tomita both fighting on the Jewels
circuit.
