Former NFL cheerleader in bloody MMA fight
There were no pom-poms available for Rachey Wray on Friday night. Just gloved fists.
The former NFL cheerleader, who is making a transition to MMA, found herself in a wild, bloody war against fellow amateur fighter Nadia Nixon at Ultimate Blue Corner Battles in Kansas City. Wray, who was 2-0 coming in, lost a close split decision and got a nasty black eye in the process.
Nixon actually ended up looking worse, with blood covering almost her entire face by the end of the fight. The beautiful blonde Wray, who was a cheerleader for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2012, seemed to hurt Nixon late in the second round with heavy punches, but was unable to finish her off.
Nixon is just 1-5 as an amateur, according to Sherdog’s Fight Finder, so it’ll be back to the drawing board for Wray. It doesn’t seem like she minds. On Saturday, she tweeted a photo of her and Nixon punching each other with the caption “Yes that is blood…Greatest night of my life.”
