Mixed martial arts career

edit

Jackson's MMA Series

edit

D'Alelio was scheduled to face Julie Kedzie at Jackson's MMA Series 2 on September 4, 2010,[5] but the fight was canceled after Kedzie signed on to take part in the filming of the Ultimate Women Challenge reality show.[6]

D'Alelio's fight with Kedzie was then rebooked for Jackson's MMA Series 3 on December 18, 2010, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[7] She lost to Kedzie via unanimous decision.[8]

Strikeforce

edit

Strikeforce announced at its April 9, 2011, event in San Diego that Gina Carano would make her return on June 18 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, during the Overeem vs. Werdum Strikeforce event against D'Alelio. Initially, Strikeforce announced that Carano had failed her pre-fight medical examination due to an unknown issue and the fight was pulled from the card.[9] As the story developed, it became public that Carano was medically cleared by the Athletic Commission but was removed from the card for unknown reasons.[10]

D'Alelio was then scheduled to make her Strikeforce debut against Ronda Rousey on July 30, 2011, at Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.[11] The fight was pushed back and eventually took place on the Strikeforce Challengers 18 main card on August 12, 2011, in Las Vegas, Nevada.[12] Rousey defeated D'Alelio by technical submission due to an armbar early in the first round. D'Alelio contended that she did not verbally tap out and that the fight was prematurely stopped by the referee (Steve Mazzagatti).[13]
