Florida's Newest Rising MMA Star Is A 9-Year-Old-Girl

The video above features a news segment spotlighting a fast-rising Florida MMA fighter whose heart is winning the affection and admiration of Florida fighting fans. What makes the story stand out? It's about 9-year-old girl, Caitlin Kelley.

While the news piece itself lacks any real substance, the premise of the story should be enough to hold the attention of any martial arts fan. Already ranked 4th in her state for submission grappling, the up-and-comer has taken on a fair amount of competitors (boys as well as girls).

Of course, at her age I was first in my household at grappling for an NES controller. So I've always had that going for me.
