Finally! Hungarian WMMA fighter crowned world champion in Bahrain

Alexandra Kovács won the amateur MMA World Championship in Bahrain beating her opponent with a technical knockout in Round 2.

The Hungarian girl competes in the flyweight category (56.7 kg or below) and trains in Zen Bu Kan Kempo style, as reported by Index. The young girl took part in the amateur world championship organised by the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) and the World MMA Association (WMMAA) which lasted for 5 days with fighters of 20 countries.

She dropped out unluckily from the semifinals last year, but now she knocked out both her Italian and Tunisian opponents with TKO-s in the second round. She continued this tradition in the final against the current European champion, Janika Antinmaa

where she could win again in the second round with another TKO.

Alexandra could throw the Finnish girl in the first round already, but Antimaa could quickly turn her over, thus she became the one down. They remained in this position until the end of round 1. However, in round 2, the Finnish girl tried to kick Kovács, who caught Antimaa’s leg and tackled her.

The Hungarian girl put her opponent into a straddle lock and she did not just keep her in this advantageous position but broke her defence with heavy strikes. Finally, the Finnish girl dodged her punches, although she still could not escape. The referee had enough of the fight and decided to end it.
