Kendra McIntyre, an LFA strawweight, has just punched her ticket to the Knockout of the Year debate.
This happened on a Friday night. Specifically, at the LFA 182 event in Sioux Falls, S.D. McIntyre delivered a brutal knockout to Katarina Legorreta. It was a head kick that was nothing short of picture-perfect. It happened in the third round.
With this, McIntyre’s pro record improved to 3-1.

McIntyre’s back in the win column, folks. This marks her first stoppage win as a pro fighter. Before this event, she had a bit of a setback. A disqualification loss at January’s LFA 174 card. The reason? An illegal kick to a grounded opponent.
That’s the only stain on her record. She’s had a pair of decision wins to kickstart her career, including her debut for Invicta FC.
As for Legoretta, it’s her first loss as a pro mixed martial artist. She started her career with a stoppage win. She also had a decision victory for Urijah Faber’s A1 Combat promotion.
So, there you have it. The fight’s over, but the conversation’s just beginning.
