Fallon Fox meets Ashlee Evans-Smith on Oct. 12 for CFA tourney title

After her submission win over Allanna Jones two months ago, Fallon Fox now knows when she’ll be back in action.

Fox (3-0) will meet Ashlee Evans-Smith (1-0) for the Championship Fighting Alliance women’s featherweight tournament title on Oct. 12. AXS TV’s “Inside MMA” brought word of the fight date on Friday night.

Though no formal event title or location has been announced by the promotion, the card is expected to be CFA 12, and its past eight events have taken place at BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Fla.

Fox (3-0), who has been a fixture in the MMA news since announcing she is a transgender fighter, will meets Evans-Smith for the tournament title after submitted Allanna Jones at CFA 11 in May. Evans-Smith beat Tori Adams at CFA 10 in March to move into the finals of the four-woman tournament. The tournament winner is expected to take home the crown and $20,000 in prize money.

Fox picked up quick first-round wins in her first two fights with a TKO of Elisha Helsper in May 2012, then a 39-second knockout of Ericka Newsome in March. She needed a little longer to take out Jones with a shin-choke with just about 90 seconds left in their fight at CFA 11.

Evans-Smith made her pro debut at CFA 10 after going 5-4 in her amateur career, which included five fights for the Las Vegas-based Tuff-N-Uff.
