The most talked-about event in 2002 among mixed martial arts fans, this event made history as the first-ever all-women event to be sanctioned. Initially frowned upon when HooknShoot promoter Jeff Osborne first suggested the idea, one look at the skill these fighters displayed in the ring proved what a good idea it was. Those expecting catfights and the like will be disappointed to find raw, real, talented athletes engaged in fierce competition, incorporating boxing, striking, submissions, wrestling, and other techniques into their impressive repertoires. Comprised of the best female fighters in MMA, the matches included Ruth Meija v. Erica Montoya, Olga Bakalopoulas v. Shannon Hooper, Jennifer Irons v. Jessica Ross, Angela Restad v. Mayra Conde, and Debi Purcell v. Chris Van Fleet.
