Tough Enough: Julie Kedzie Kicks It Up a Notch in the Mixed Martial Arts World
Indianapolis Woman Magazine
Julie Kedzie's nose bleeds again, and her hair's a mess. Wisps of it have come free from her tight cornrows. She's working hard to catch her breath. Still, the professional mixed martial arts fighter beams like a cheerleader at the top of the pyramid. It's a clear case of “You should see the other guy.” The referee has called a stop to Kedzie's fight with Julia Berezekova at the Ice Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia. The packed venue erupts as Kedzie raises her arms in victory.
“In the middle of that fight I kind of got this, 'Oh my gosh, I'm getting beat up' feeling, and then, all of a sudden, the tide turned, and I realized that, 'You know, this is going to go my way,'” Kedzie recalls.
