She showed a lot of bravery in her third mixed martial arts fight... which ran a full 10 seconds before a devastating KO punch sent her face-first into the mat.

Okay, we have no idea if she's a soccer mom, but she sure is wearing a soccer mom uniform. Katie Castro has more guts than I ever will -- you'll never catch me getting in a ring to fight -- but it's sad when you can tell who's going to win based solely on the fight announcement. Katie is simply billed as "an independent fighter," while her opponent has nicknames and sponsors and gyms and fight groups attached to her intro -- it's all very impressive. Her announcement actually lasts longer than the fight.

Castro's record was a mere 0-2 when she stepped into the ring with Ilima-Lei MacFarlane last January, and she may have been hoping to break her personal best by lasting more than 28 seconds. Sadly, this would not be a marathon bout... hell, the starting bell was still vibrating when the fight ended. Months later, thanks to the internet, we get to share in Katie's pain.
