After a three-year layoff, LaTasha Marzolla defeated Christy Tada in her MMA debut last Saturday at Tuff-N-Uff’s event held at the Orleans in Las Vegas, NV. Tada’s corner stopped the fight before the second-round bell after a flurry by Marzolla did some damage at the end of the first-round and sent the crowd into a frenzy.

Marzolla is making headlines because she is a former Playboy model and good friends with Gina Carano, one of MMA’s top female fighters. Carano was on hand to cheer her good friend on. They both came up fighting Muay Thai under Master Toddy in Las Vegas. It has also been reported that Marzolla wrestled in high school. Both girls currently fight out of Xtreme Couture.

Marzolla stated that she intends on taking part in Tuff-N-Uff’s all-female card in July.
