Meet 6ft 1 Gabi Garcia, a 17.5 stone MMA fighter who regularly spars with men

MMA MACHINE Meet 6ft 1 Gabi Garcia, a 17.5 stone MMA fighter who regularly spars with men --- Gabi Garcia stands at an impressive 187cm tall and weighed in at 111kg for her last fight - making her 50kg too heavy to fight in the UFC’s bantamweight division *** SHE weighs more than every player in the AFL outside of Fremantle giant Aaron Sandilands. She’d stare down on the likes of NRL forwards Sam Thaiday and Paul Gallen. And she regularly spars with men. Meet Gabi Garcia — the scariest woman in mixed martial arts. The Brazilian stands at 187cm tall and weighed in at 111kg for her last fight, making her 50kg too heavy to fight in the UFC’s bantamweight division — which is probably good news for Ronda Rousey, Holly Holm, Miesha Tate and co. But that hasn’t stopped her from launching a career in MMA with Japanese promotion Rizin – where she is undefeated in three fights. A nine-time world champion Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, Gabi is the protégé of one of the greatest fighters in UFC history, Anderson Silva. | The Sun via IFTTT
