Model suffers setback in quest to be MMA fighter

Many womens MMA fans are aware that promoter Jeff Osborne is currently producing a reality series called FIGHT SKOOL. The concept of the show is to chronicle the journey of six neophyte women training in MMA and culminating in a big fight card at the Evansville Colosseum in November. The info in this post, the video and the photo are courtesy of Jacob Bennett of the Evansville Courier-Press in Evansville, IN. This show airs locally in Evansville. 26 year old Kanna Domangue is a model who has also worked as a ring girl at MMA shows. Growing up deaf in Lodi, CA, she was constantly picked on and had serious self esteem issues. Her boyfriend John Gauer suggested that she try out for FIGHT SKOOL. Osborne was interested in Kanna because her story makes for good TV. So now it's coming down to the final cut. Seven girls left and only six will be used. It looks like Kanna will make the cut. But John talks her into going inline skating to firm up her legs. She takes a tumble and breaks her wrist. She'll be in a cast for four weeks. But she won't be ready for the taping of the opening episode and Osborne has to cut her. Kanna was disappointed but asked Osborne if she can come back next season. So a sad ending for Kanna Domangue but let's wish her luck in reaching her goal next year. Meanwhile she will continue to model in Evansville. Check out the video courtesy of the Evansville Courier-Press.
