Kim Couture notched her first professional mixed martial arts win tonight, beating Lina Kvokov at Strikeforce: Destruction.
Couture, who suffered a broken jaw while trying to touch gloves in her first fight, didn't bother touching gloves this time around. Instead, she stalked Kvokov, landed a combination, and then worked some knees from the Muay Thai clinch. Kvokov was clearly overmatched, appeared to be afraid to take a punch, and didn't look like she belonged in a professional MMA fight.
The fight was mercifully stopped quickly, and Couture won a first-round TKO.
Couture, who was cornered by her husband Randy Couture and her friend and training partner Gina Carano, improves her record to 1-1. Kvokov falls to 0-2.
