ROF fans will be very familiar with the #1 ranked female athlete Cat Albert. Albert grew up competing in every sport she could. Soccer, volleyball, swimming were all disciplines she excelled, setting records along the way. But the turning point for her would be when she joined the wrestling team in high school. Albert was was the lone female wrestler on the Boulder County Fairview High School squad. And just like all other sports, she performed at the highest level. Once out of school, she discovered Jiujitsu and found it to be a great way of staying in shape and complimented her skill set. BJJ led to MMA and the rest, as they say, is history.

Albert has quickly risen up the ranks to be considered one of the top female mixed martial artists in Colorado. Asked afterwards about her progression and the wanting to step outside of the state to a promotion such as EliteXC, she commented, “Anyone you can put in front of me, I’m excited to (fight). It’s the ultimate test to myself.”
As Gina Carano is currently at the center of women’s MMA, when asked about her, Albert stated, “After watching (Carano) fight the other night, I don’t think it would be that big of a problem for me (to fight her).”
Albert typically fights at about 135 pounds while Giana Carano has had trouble making it to the contracted 140-pound limit in her most recent fights and will likely be fighting at 145 pounds in the future. Not a problem says Albert, “I’d fight her if she was 145 and I was 105.”
