Kathy Long, a pioneering figure in the world of kick-boxing, earned the distinction of being the first "sex symbol" of the sport, likened to the iconic Mia St. John of kick-boxing. With her striking blonde hair and all-American looks, Kathy defied conventional expectations, appearing more like a sun-kissed surfer girl from southern California than a formidable champion kick-boxer. Her remarkable career in the 1980s saw her dominate the women's kick-boxing scene, retiring with an impressive 18-1 kick-boxing record. While she briefly ventured into professional boxing, her results were mixed. Kathy also showcased her versatility by appearing in a few "B" action films, further solidifying her status as a multifaceted personality. Additionally, she was part of the pioneering announcing team that covered the inaugural Ultimate Fighting Championships I, cementing her legacy as a trailblazer in the world of mixed martial arts.
