I just found this on Google and thought I'd share. I'm not familiar with this fighter but it's good to see fresh blood joining the WCL:

"The former world-ranked boxer and kickboxer from Willard was thinking about auditioning as a contestant on the new "American Gladiators" when a different TV gig popped up.

Cofer is joining the Chuck Norris World Combat League. Billed as a cleaner version of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the WCL has eight teams of elite kickboxers representing cities including Dallas, Los Angeles and Miami. Cofer is joining the Miami Force and will compete for the first time Feb. 23 in Tulsa, Okla. "

Kelli Cofer will be a great addition to the WCL. I know her personally and can say that she is looking forward to competeing. I spoke with her last monday and she stated her only concern was having to lose weight on such a short notice. Her last fight was in the 145# class. I dont expect this will have a major effect though, i watched her defet an opponent in 2 rounds with a 102 degree temp due to the flu. She is a very good fighter and should bring a good show. I hope everyone enjoys her fighting abilities as much as I do.

Kelli came in 8 pounds over at weigh in today. Good news is that she lost it. Pretty sure Angie is going to start tomorrow.

I'm not sure where you got your info but Kelli made weight when she first stepped on the scales. She was actually a little light when she borded the plane to fly to Tulsa.

regardless, she faught someone with no professional fights. She did not live up to the hype that others made her out to be. Her opponent from the tigers looked a hell of a lot better than kelli did.

What does that have to do with making weight?

it's huge. You come in 8 pounds heavy the day of weigh in's - number one Your head is not in the game. 2nd - to have to lose all that weight then fight in less than 24 hours is not good.

Just don't understand what all the hype about her was for. Ring rust or not - she just didn't look that good.

I'm not sure what your problem is but you must not have read the previous post. Kelli MADE weight when she stepped on the scale. She was not 8lbs heavy. When she got on the plane to head to Tulsa she was 1lb light. Whoever reported her as being 8lbs heavy was mistaken.

She weighed in lighter than all the girls. Whoever said eight pounds over, GUESS YOU HAD NOTHING ELSE TO CHAT ABOUT Shocked

. Making up B.S. makes some good small talk, I guess. LOL! Very Happy
