"Canada has always been a hot bed for MMA. However, despite it's long and storied history of legendary fighters, there is still not a huge concerntration of MMA fighters in certain parts of the country. That's particularly true for the Western part of the country and even more so when you're looking at female fighters. For those reasons, the team of Jamey-Lyn Horth pushed her to get out and travel a bit after her last fight."
""You mentioned Lupita [Godinez],we fought each other twice as amateurs... we've become really good friends - almost like sisters and teammates," Horth explained. "We trained together, I think three, four days a week. Just where we're located, each gym sort of has like a token female and we all kind of do our own home-based stuff, but we all connect and collaborate. Our coaching staff all is closely tight-knit and they all work together.""
Canada possesses a long MMA history but uneven regional fighter concentrations, with Western Canada especially lacking female representation. Jamey-Lyn Horth traveled to train at Niagara Top Team and worked with Jasmine Jasudavicius to gain new styles and schedules ahead of UFC Vegas 112. High-level, varied training aided competitive progression. Fighters from different gyms—often each hosting a single female athlete—connect regularly to exchange techniques and perspectives. Close collaboration among coaching staffs produces a de facto super team offering diverse looks, shared sparring partners, and cross-gym coaching input to improve preparation.
