(3 votes)
ProElite.com (SamCaplan.ProElite.com) has learned that BodogFIGHT Women's Champion Tara LaRosa recently received a contract offer from EliteXC.
The news was confirmed by sources within EliteXC and also a representative from LaRosa's camp.
While EliteXC was unable to confirm, LaRosa's representative revealed that she has received a three fight offer from the promotion. However, a deal does not appear imminent as LaRosa was said to be unsatisfied with the initial offer.
LaRosa, who sports a lifetime record of 15-1, became a free agent after fulfilling the last fight on her contract with Bodog following a second round submission over Cody Welchin during a fight for the HOOKnSHOOT promotion on November 24.
LaRosa, who holds the Bodog Women's title at 135 pounds, accepted the fight with Welchin at 125 pounds. The bout vs. Welchin was a non-title match.
If LaRosa were to sign with EliteXC, it could lead to a marquee matchup with Gina Carano, who has been promoted as the female face of MMA by the company.
