FanHouse Lina Kvokov

I didn't like what I saw when I watched Kim Couture earn a first-round TKO over Lina Kvokov in Friday night's Strikeforce show. Couture isn't a first-rate fighter like Tara Larosa or Cris Cyborg or Gina Carano, but she regularly trains with some of the best in the world, and Kvokov looked woefully unprepared to fight someone like Couture.

So I'm glad to see that Couture herself says she didn't much like that fight, either.

On the Xtreme Couture blog, Kim Couture says she'd love to fight for Strikeforce again, but that she hopes she gets some opponents who don't turn their backs in the middle of the fight.

Kim Couture notched her first professional mixed martial arts win tonight, beating Lina Kvokov at Strikeforce: Destruction.

Couture, who suffered a broken jaw while trying to touch gloves in her first fight, didn't bother touching gloves this time around. Instead, she stalked Kvokov, landed a combination, and then worked some knees from the Muay Thai clinch. Kvokov was clearly overmatched, appeared to be afraid to take a punch, and didn't look like she belonged in a professional MMA fight.

The fight was mercifully stopped quickly, and Couture won a first-round TKO.

Couture, who was cornered by her husband Randy Couture and her friend and training partner Gina Carano, improves her record to 1-1. Kvokov falls to 0-2.

Kim Couture will fight Lina Kvokov on tonight's Strikeforce: Destruction card, and in this videos he talks both about that and about her husband Randy Couture's loss to Brock Lesnar at UFC 91:

"I thought he did a great job," Kim said of Randy, just minutes after the fight. "He just got clipped. ... Brock has very long arms and he did a good job. ... He just proves that size does matter."
