Corrine Laframboise's Dream Put on Hold
Corrine Laframboise, the women's flyweight champion of UAE Warriors, was on the verge of competing for a UFC contract until she made a shocking discovery - she was three months pregnant.
A Surprising Pre-Fight Blood Test
Laframboise's hopes of entering MMA's top promotion were dashed when a routine pre-fight blood test revealed her pregnancy, just a week before her scheduled fight on Dana White's Contenders Series.
A Sudden Change in Life Plans
The 34-year-old fighter opened up about the unexpected news, stating, "It was like the entire world stopped - we didn't expect it." Despite the setback, Laframboise and her fiance found joy in learning about the health of their baby girl during a subsequent scan.
Injury Leads to a Healthy Baby
Laframboise's unborn child was fortunate to escape injury as a sprained ankle prevented her from sparring during her training camp. The altered training regimen allowed the baby to remain unharmed.
An Unforeseen Surprise
Surprisingly, Laframboise had no idea about her pregnancy until she watched her diet in preparation for her weight cut. She initially attributed missed periods and nausea to her training, but soon realized the cause was her pregnancy.
A Future in the UFC?
Although Laframboise's dreams of fighting in the UFC are currently on hold, she remains optimistic about the future. While she focuses on her baby, she expressed a desire to return to the octagon one day, stating, "I know that I'm made to be in the UFC."
