Pregnant Fighter Takes Down Opponent

Cyndi Dandois is an MMA fighter with a 5-1 record is a yet more telling clue. And if for some reason you need more proof, here she is winning her latest bout, which took place last month against Jorina Baars. She was two months pregnant when she fought last month against Jorina Baars.

She said about after the fight.


I did tests before because my weight was more difficult to reach, but they were all negative so I didn't realize it.

Interestingly enough, Dandois' last fight was on March 19, so if she really is three and a half months pregnant, that means she competed in a fight (which she won, by the way) while she was over two months pregnant.

She was over two months pregnant when she entered the ring. Luckily she avoided any serious damage that could have harmed her unborn child.

Female fighters must take pregnancy tests in order to be cleared to fight in the U.S. whereas in Europe, most of the time they only need to sign a declaration stating they are not pregnant. Hard to believe this could have slipped past someone, no pun intended, but it looks like it did.

Dandois was actually scheduled to fight again in June, but obviously the pregnancy put an end to that plan. Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker, in an interview with MMAFighting.com Ariel Helwani, stated he offered the fight to Dandois, but she had to back out because she’s 3 and half months pregnant.
