Tuff N Uff MMA - Jenny Yum vs Lindsay Jones - Female Spinning Back Fist ...



I met Jenny Yum the first day of 9th grade in our creative writing class.  We quickly became friends by talking through class and passing notes throughout the day.  It's been almost 10 years since we graduated high school and Jenny has moved onto things more exciting than writing poetry and short stories.  I saw her last weekend for the first time since we graduated in 2001. She looks exactly the same however, it was a little scary for me to see her because I had NEVER watched a fight before.  She's taken up mixed martial arts and was in town for a tournament.  I sat ring side with her friends and family and couldn't even believe what I was watching.  Jenny's fight was over so quickly I didn't even know what had happened until the lady sitting beside me said, "That's it.  Jenny won."  I always knew she was one tough cookie but it's still kinda shocking to see your poetry buddy from 9th grade knock some girl flat on her behind.

Congrats to Jenny Yum!  And that's Yum like Yummy....not the way the announcer keeps saying it on the video.  She'll be back for the title fight at the end of September and I'm so excited to go cheer her on.
