If Jillian DeCoursey’s nascent reign signals anything, it’s that the time to rectify MMA’s atomweight oversight has arrived.
Move over, Aljamain Sterling. You’re not the only champion mixed martial artist from Long Island in action this week.
Too many decisions? The last two women to step into the cage with DeCoursey never made it to the first horn. The Long Island MMA and Fitness Center product brutally knocked out Lindsey VanZandt last May before tapping out champion Jessica Delboni via rear-naked choke in September in a combined 5 minutes, 50 seconds. That made it three finishes in her last four atomweight bouts.
A recently-announced headliner for June 3 between Kai Kara-France and Amir Albazi will be the UFC’s first non-title men’s flyweight main event since 2017. Invicta, founded in 2012, gave the vast majority of today’s female leads a platform to compete in the United States. Until the UFC does adopt 105 within its octagon, the best on this side of the globe reside with Invicta.“For atomweights, Invicta is the top of the tier,” DeCoursey said. “And if you get to be the champion, you are on top of the food chain.”
