Bout seven: Lacey Whitlatch Vs Tandi Ogden. This women's bout was for the Kick Down Super Lightweight Modified Muay Thai title. Both fighters came out with strong kicks followed by a prolonged clinch where good knee strikes were exchanged. Ogden trapped a Whitlatch front kick and followed it immediately with a strong overhand right. More good clinch work followed and was punctuated by Ogden landing a series of unanswered knee strikes followed by a takedown (legal in Modified Muay Thai bouts). Each then landed good punches to close out round one. Round two started off with Ogden landing a strong punch combination and Whitlatch answering with punches of her own. At the midpoint in the round Ogden put together a series of strikes that backed Whitlatch across the ring and she ended with a long series of textbook Muay Thai knee strikes in the clinch. Whitlatch broke free of the clinch and blocked an attempted head kick by Ogden to end the second round. Round three saw both fighters being very aggressive with a strong flurry of head punches. Whitlatch trapped an Ogden kick, but Ogden countered with a good 1-2 punch combination while balanced on one foot. Ogden then stunned Whitlatch momentarily and had her backed into the corner. Whitlatch circled out of danger, but Ogden was able to initiate the clinch and land more strong knees followed by punches to end the round. The judges were again called on for their scores and it was an unanimous decision won for Ogden. Ogden is now the Kick Down Women's Modified Muay Thai Super Lightweight title holder. In her post fight interview Ogden stated that she was unsure of her plans for the future other than improving as a fighter.
