After picking up mixed martial arts to stay in shape, it was only a matter of time before this Playboy model stepped in the cage to fight.

Edmonton's Lingerie Fighting Championships has signed on Model Behavior host Karmen Moon, who will make her debut in November for LFC20.

"I'm really excited to join the LFC," Moon says. "I've been training really hard and can't wait to step into the cage. I'm so ready to kick some ass!"

LFC President Michelle Blanchard got into Muay Thai and jiujitsu while training for the Lingerie Football League.

The president came out with a second round victory in Las Vegas and figures Moon can do the same.

​

"She comes into this with a great skill set and a tremendous will to win. I think some people are going to be surprised at how tough a Playboy model can be," Blanchard said.

Two Edmontonian fighters will also be joining two other locals who have already made their debut.

Erin 'Raw' McDraw is in training for the November event, while Kris Blackwell is hoping to get onto the show Lingerie Fighting Championship Bootie Camp. To vote for Blackwell, visit https://lingeriefc.com/vote-fighter/kris-blackwell.

Edmontonians Serina Kyle and Maxine Frost have already squared off.

Within a month, the LFC was the third most popular mixed martial arts league.

The November fight will be available on 1,000 different carriers.
