68-Year-Old Woman Shown No Mercy in her MMA Debut video

Sparta Combat League, an MMA promotion based out of Colorado, is the latest promotion to join a long line of others who have booked fights that made the MMA community say in their minds “What the hell?” According to MMA Mania, they recently booked a match between Laura Dettman, a 24-year-old fighter with a 3-2-0 MMA record, against Ann Perez, a 68-year-old granny who made her MMA debut that night.

Laura Dettman and Ann Perez’s fight can be seen in its entirety in the following attached video. Some people might find the video disturbing given it is footage of a young woman assaulting a much-older lady despite it being allowed.
Ann Perez, a 68-year-old woman fighting out of Grudge Training Center, was shown no mercy by Laura Dettman at SCL 48.

Laura Dettman does not hold anything back as she literally decimates Ann Perez, who had a troublesome time keeping up her guard. Once Dettman gets Perez down to the ground, it does not take long for her to full mount in position for a barrage of ground and pound. It looks like the referee was taking his sweet time in stopping the fight, because Perez clearly could not defend herself.

Thankfully, Ann Perez was not severely hurt, probably because she has a lengthy combat background specifically in kickboxing. The match was even promoted as “making positive MMA history,” given that Perez now holds the record of the oldest person to compete in MMA, according to Uproxx. That is truly an accomplishment Perez deserves applause for.
