Tara Larosa Talks Dollamur U.S. Grappling World Team Trials and AFL signing
Listen To The Show
With the somber news of the death of Evan Tanner, Tara Larosa (Philadelphia Fight Factory)joined Joe & Ted as the lone guest and kept things light in a brilliant debut appearance on the show. One topic that came up was Tara being in Rocklin, CA cutting weight for the Dollamur U.S. Grappling World Team Trials. While 138 lbs is a more natural weight for Tara, she decided to drop a weight class and compete at 121lbs. You can hear her talk more about the weight cutting process and what the Dollamur U.S. Grappling World Team Trials mean to her in the interview.
As of the latest news from the trials - Larosa was slated to compete against Felicia Oh of BJMUTA on Sunday, September 14th.
Another big talking point was Tara’s recent signing with the AFL and her upcoming match in early November 2008 on a pretty big MMA card.
Tara had no problem carrying on with the guys, dishing about her upcoming bout (although being elusive about revealing the exact date), her favorite fighters (men and women) and pretty much everything else under the sun.
Tara grew up on a dirt farm in South Jersey and roots for the Philadelphia professional sports teams. Other than that awful disorder, she is very down-to-earth and had a great time playing around with Joe & Ted while getting across her points on many subjects.
And…here is Tara dishing with Sherdog about her AFL deal. Conclusion - we’re more fun. More fun than Sherdog that is.

KIM ROSE & DEBI PURCELL: WOMEN’S MMA ON THE RNC!
Kim’s first interview since beating Kim Couture
Debi announces her ProElite fight
It was a show dedicated to the ladies of MMA when Joe & Ted welcomed Kim Rose and Debi Purcell to The Rear Naked Choke.
This was Kim’s first interview since her bloody unanimous decision victory over Kim Couture. Debi took a timeout from the hijinks to reveal her next fight, which will be against Rosie Sexton of England on August 17 (at least that is what Debi says, and she is bad with dates).
Listen To The Show!
Here is a cool thing to do:
First, click above and start listening to the show, on which Kim Rose appears first. In the meantime, start to watch the fight with the YouTube volume off while you’re listening to our interview with Kim Rose, who broke Kim Couture’s jaw in two places five seconds into the match.
Here’s the vid:
…Continue it for Round 2:
& then Round 3:
Our take:
For two fighters making their pro debuts, this was an exciting fight with surprising technical level. Kim Rose, sponsored by our friend at Fightchix, more than lived up to her nickname of The Little Pitbull, while Kim Couture did a great job considering the severity of her injuries sustained right off the bat. Couture reportedly will need to have her jaw wired shut for five weeks.
From MMAWeekly:
Little did anyone know at the time, Couture not only suffered a broken nose in the exchange, but the bone-crushing overhand right, according to her Xtreme Couture teammate Brice Ritani-Coe, actually split her lower jaw bone in the middle of her chin.
So Kim Rose is pretty bad-ass. She also is an identical twin whose sister fights fires, and not other women.
Debi Purcell told us she would fight anyone anytime. Then Ted asked, “Would you fight me?” To which Debi immediately replied, “No!” Of course, this means she has never met Ted, but she did call him a “Boobhead”.
Since we caught her around workout time, Debi had tons of energy and expended it upon us. She recapped her career, which has stalled at times because there was simply no one willing to fight her. She talked about how she called out Gina Carano from Day One, and that she wants to fight Tara LaRosa after the Sexton fight.
When you listen, you’ll learn that the Purcell-LaRosa fight almost came off as an IFL bout, and you’ll find out why it did not happen. It might have something to do with Marco Ruas.
Debi is getting married very soon, and we hope that she remembers the dates of her wedding and her fight, and does not get them confused. Golly gee, she has an awful lot of energy. She is doing her web stuff with Fightergirls so give her a holla.
