Earlier this week the 6’5ft heavyweight kickboxing champion Katya Kavaleva issued an open challenge to any female wanting to face her, she said “I am the toughest female on this earth and dare any woman in MMA to step in with me”, adding “I’ll fight anyone anytime anyplace”.

Two fellow Heavyweights spoke out this week, saying they want to build up the upper weight divisions in Women’s MMA and are down to fight anyone – Destanie Yarbrough and Erica Grover. It appears Kavaleva is not interested in fighting either of these two ladies. She told us “I wouldn’t fight against somebody like Destanie or Erica, there’s no money in it and no real fight fan wants to see that fight”, she added that they are “not on my level” continuing “I just don’t feel that they have my years of training expertise or my size and strength. Comparatively speaking I am more than a foot taller I guess then those girls so it’s not just about my strength or size it’s literally just about my reach.” She did however suggest Yarbrough has the ability to beat Garcia with the right game plan “She [Destanie Yarbrough] actually matched up well against Gabi but abandoned her game plan”.

Kavaleva reveals she has plans to enter WWE and appear in movies further down the line, telling us “I have a future outside of the ring that I am planning including the possibility of entering the WWE and Cinema but I am a warrior first and I am willing to risk it all if I was able to fight against Gabi on the right stage”, she feels Invicta FC could be the right place for the fight “I would proudly headline there event and show the world why they call me the Dominator”.

Do you agree with Katya Kavaleva? Are Destanie Yarbrough and Erica Grover not on her level? Do you want to see her fight for Invicta FC? Let us know in the comments below.
