Kay Hansen made headlines for all the right reasons this past weekend in her UFC debut, but her time in the spotlight hasn’t been all wine and roses.
Following her third-round submission win over Jinh Yu Frey this past Saturday at UFC on ESPN 12, Hansen’s story had several feel-good hooks: She won on less than one week’s notice, finished the former Invicta FC atomweight champion with an armbar that drew the appreciation of Ronda Rousey, helped a gambler cash in on a five-figure wager, and accomplished those things six weeks shy of her 21st birthday.
