Louise Johnson dominates at the Red Lion
By Toxic M3 | March 2, 2008
History was made on Saturday, March 1st, at the Red Lion Hotel. Louise Johnson and Shalee Shannon were the first women ever in Colorado history to have a professional Womens MMA fight. The fight was to consist of 2, 5 minute rounds. However, it seems that 60 seconds would have been more than enough for Louise to sieze yet another win. It started out quickly, neither one hesitated to get a few off a few quick punches and a few kicks. Shannon then made the mistake of taking the fight to the ground. Shannon was initially on top, however within seconds, Louise managed reversal, and began the punishment. A barrage of fists to the face, and a couple of elbows were that was needed to render Shannon defeated. after 56 seconds the official called halt to the massacre (TKO due to strikes). Louise has started her professional career as undefeated, this will surely become a trend.
