They were supposed to fight two weeks ago in an intergender sparring bout until it got cancelled, but Tara LaRosa and a male internet troll finally handled their business Monday night. LaRosa (22-5 MMA) and Kristopher Zylinski (no MMA experience) were set to do this in front of an audience until the athletic commission in Florida reportedly showed up with police to shut it down . It happened anyway, though. And, well, here you go (via Facebook ): The point of this, at least for La Rosa, was to test a theory: How would a man in relatively good shape but not trained in MMA fare against a trained female MMA fighter? In short: No significant strikes were ever thrown, and Zylinsky was forced to tap out twice.
