The latest event for the Ultimate MMA celebrity fight promotion is in the books, and it was the women of the Steel Cage Queens division in action in Anaheim, CA.
Catherine Bell made a play for the heavyweight crown held by
Traci Bingham. Did the
Army Wives actress succeed, or was the
Baywatch alum just too tough to to handle? Meanwhile,
Brittany Daniel and
Julie Benz have been passing the welterweight title back and forth. Would Brittany take it back again, or would Julie be the first to make a successful defense? Rounding out our title match-ups,
Kylie Minogue has struggled against fellow featherweight
Eva Longoria recently. Would this be another long night for her, or would she step up and reclaim the title?
Head over to the official UMMA website and check out the latest edition of
Total Knock Out magazine to find out how it all turned out.

Tired of your favorite fighter getting knocked around the cage all the time? Let the manager know it's time to step up her training program. Know of a potential up-and-comer who deserves a shot in the big leagues? Put her name out there and see if she catches someone's eye. Also, some of the stables are offering a peek behind the curtain with behind-the-scenes news and stories, so be sure to check that out and encourage your favorite manager if you want to see more. It's all happening over at the new UMMA Managers Forum.

At this point, everything is still up in the air (aside from the fact that the beautiful

http://umma.createaforum.com/index.phpAnd while you're thinking about your dream match-ups, the women of the UMMA will be headed to Las Vegas, NV as the Diamond Edge Fighters division takes center stage. With over 70 fights on the card, it promises to be a wild and crazy event. Among the highlights:
- Rachel McAdams looks to defend her featherweight crown against the insanely successful Kate Lawler. The title has already gone back and forth a few times between these two, and Kate has the edge in their head-to-head matchups. Can Rachel fend her off and keep the belt?
- Kristanna Loken gets another crack at welterweight champion Danneel Harris. Kristanna actually took the title away from the long-time champion a few events back, but Danni didn't let her keep it long. Can the blond action star pry the belt away again?
- And Petra Cubonova tries, once more, to take the belt away from legendary heavyweight champion Adriana Lima. This is starting to become an exercise in futility for Petra, as this will be her sixth attempt to take Lima's crown. Will this FINALLY be her lucky night?
Keep an eye on the UMMA website as the upcoming issue of
TKO will have all the news and highlights from Sin City.
