Tara LaRosa



The Heart of Female MMA
Posted by Joe Newman on 09.27.2007

Tara LaRosa pulls no punches when she talks about the state of female mixed martial arts. The Bodog Fights champ is more than just a pretty face. And she is ready to prove it against anyone willing to step in the ring against her. Are you listening Gina Carano?
