Zoila Frausto Stands Victorious

I got a chance to talk to both combatants before the war in the cage started.

Michelle Ould’s

specialty is the ground and she makes it quite clear it may not be pretty, but is very strong and potent. Even though ground is her game, she would like to end the round with a straight right in the 1st round. She thought Zoila was pretty respectable and liked her previous performances, until Zoila accused her of being on steroids because she looked vascular and also said, “If that’s what it take to win, then be a cheater, I call it as I see it.”

Michelle was delighted because she was able to work cardio to really prepare her for the fight. Previously her fights have been short notice. Michelle says Zoila has a big Hispanic following and would like to show the crowd a solid fight. Michelle also stated that if she were to loose it was because Michelle herself made critical errors and that it would not be because of her opponents skill.

Zoila Frausto,

after her devastating loss to Miesha Tate in Strikeforce, realized that her ground has severe deficits. The whole time leading up to the fight Zoila worked BJJ at AKA in Fresno and wrestling at Fresno City College. She worked both offensive and defensive but concentrated on what to defensively to get back to her feet. “I will take the win any way I can,” Frausto stated.

After this fight Zoila would like to travel to fight but is very grateful and fortunate to have so many opportunities in her backyard. Zoila expects Michelle to come out with road rage and would like to shock her with a straight kick to the face. She believes that if Michelle drops her guard like she has done in previous fights it will surely go to her advantage. “You cant block my kicks and punches with your face, so I hope she has a better game plan.”

After the fight, Zoila was very surprised that Michelle had more strength than the 135lbs girls she had fought. Michelle had the hardest kicks faced as of yet but admits they were slow and easy to predict. She was so grateful to see that both heart and her little sister both went home with a victory. Zoila stated is was kind of nerve racking worrying about her little sister and focusing on her fight. Zoila was very glad when the ref had them both stand up while she was pinned against the cage.

“Either way, good or bad call, it benefited me!” Zoila kept going back to what she had just learned in wrestling to recover to standing position.
