Kelli Cofer ready to strike in mixed martial arts


Willard woman ready to strike in mixed martial arts

WILLARD -- Kelli Cofer doesn't need to fight.

As a college student, she interned on an engineering project for an aeronautical company, shifted focus to the medical fields of biomedics and prosthetics and eventually switched gears to business administration.

She graduated summa cum laude from The Ohio State University-Mansfield this past summer with a perfect 4.0 grade point average.

As a businesswoman, Cofer started her own landscaping company, finding that it not only builds a bank account but muscle thanks to its cross-training benefits.

But wielding a set of 15-pound hedge trimmers doesn't bring as much satisfaction as cutting opponents down to size. So, the Willard-based athlete and entrepreneur has decided to reinvent herself yet again.
