Yikes, wouldn't Randy prefer a nice feminine woman that doesn't fight? That's rough.

Actually, he said he was trying to give her cauliflower ear.

Sheesh, I didn't know he had a daughter. Better teach her good guard.

I thought Kim did pretty well considering she had a broken nose and jaw. Was kind of surprised they let that fight keep going...

If you have a broken nose and broken jaw you are getting your Arse Whupped.

It was from that first shot. She said in a post-fight interview it was excruciatingly painful when she was getting pulled down from top afterwards. I mean she is definitely a trooper to fight through that and possibly has skills we haven't see yet... I'm just surprised they let her continue.

WOW! Good photos! I wonder who taught her to use her face to defend punches.

"I wonder who taught her to use her face to defend punches", that's messed up

I could have done better if ringside, these were shot at about 80ft from the ring with a 200mm lens.

Her throws were nice and actually kept her in the fight. She will be awesome once she learns to launch herself into the throw and finish with a pile drive. She needs to work on her stand up defense. Like someone said above she was virtually a punching bag. Just a simple front kick would have stopped most of the beating that she took. Teep!!!

Well, it was her first fight. She just got signed to AFL so we'll be seeing more of her after her doctor clears it--she has to get her jaw wired shut. I was just really surprised they let her continue... Does Randy hate her or something?

Fair play to her. She battled it right untill the end, and although her guard was low and she did not seem to wear a gum shield (forgive me if im wrong) I bet she has learnt from her mistakes and shall come back better for it.

She has big shoes to fill. People are going to expect more from her because she has the Couture name and is from the Couture training camp. She has heart and courage.

Funny dude, I owe you negative rep for that remark. LOL

Couture News ...
After suffering a broken jaw in her pro debut loss, female mixed martial artist Kim Couture was initially informed that she would require sugery to wire her jaw shut for five weeks. Upon realizing that she was a fighter, doctors decided instead to insert a titanium plate and screws. Couture will undergo surgery on Wednesday. The procedure will allow her to return to ttraining and sparring in just 6 weeks, a lot sooner than possible had she had her jaw wired shut. "I will be eating a steak dinner the night of my surgery," she remarked. Excited about the news, Couture is eager for a rematch with Rose, stating, "I will definitely get her back! I don't think she can whoop me."
