British fighter Lisa Higo shocked the Women's MMA world on Saturday night as she won the 8 Woman Gfight Tournament in the USA.  Higo who entered the Tourney as a rank outsider with only 1 pro MMA bout to her name defeated 3 other women in the 115lbs division on the same night, in an event which was streamed around the world live on the internet.

Lisa Higo is a team mate of the Cage Warriors Women's Champion Rosi Sexton and recently attended the UK tryouts for the upcoming Women's Ultimate Combat reality show, which were held in Manchester.  Higo comes from a Kickboxing background and trains at Leeds Cage under the watchful eye of John C Higo, husband and experienced coach.  It is hoped that Higo will either enter the forthcoming British Fighting Championship tourney or will be a part of the Women Ultimate Combat reality show which will pit some of Europe's best against the US counterparts, later this year.
