Barcelona, Spain: A history-making all-female MMA event will take October 10th at the Complex Esportiu Marina Besós in Barcelona marking the return of Spain’s largest mixed martial arts promotion AFL – proving ground for current UFC stars Joel Alvarez, Juan Espino, Manuel Kape and many others.
AFL VALKYRIES, named after the the female Gods of War in Norse Mythology, will be the first major all-female MMA event in Europe and will be the first MMA event in Spain since the Covid-19 pandemic struck the world and put a halt to live sports.
The main event will see a vacant strawweight title fight between Dana White Contender Series veteran & international model Micol di Segni (7-3) and French veteran Audrey ‘AK47’ Kerouche (7-5) and a co-main event between rising Brazilian star Emily Motta (2-0) and Spain’s Rita Marrero (2-2-2) for the vacant atomweight title.
National amateur champion Andrea Meneses (0-0) will also be making her pro debut against fellow debutant Sabrine Boutine of France.
The event will be available to watch live around the world via PPV on FITE.tv this Saturday night!
