The Lingerie Fighting Championship is an oddity of sort in the combat sports world. It is a pro wrestling promotion that pins women dressed in lingerie against each other in what are similar to mixed martial arts rules. Just last year, the promotion extended an offer to UFC superstar Ronda Rousey for the former bantamweight champion to potentially join the team. While it was highly unlikely that Rousey would ever accept the offer, the promotion still gained some noticeable publicity for the offer.
As reported by mixedmartialarts.com, Shaun Donnelly, LFC’s Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“Ronda Rousey has long been at the very top of our wish list. Not only is she one of the top fighters of all time, she is also a very beautiful woman who isn’t afraid to show off her sexy side.”
“We have reason to believe that Ms. Rousey might seriously consider a role with Lingerie Fighting Championships, either as a competitor or an ambassador. ” Donnelly continued. “She has been critical in the past at how little female fighters are paid and LFC has always shown a real commitment to paying our fighters very well.”
Here is a look at the “sizzle reel” for the promotion’s previous event LFC 20:
