Brawling grandmother wants a shot in cage fight

A 56-year-old grandmother nicknamed the “jolly green giant” in grade school has a hair-trigger temper and a penchant for “decking” any man that gets in her way. Now Khandace Cossitt, of Sandston, Va., wants to challenge a man to a fairer fight—this time on the inside of an mixed martial arts cage. “This just stops me from beating up the general public, god bless ‘em,” the 6-foot-5 Cossitt told WTVR. Over a colorful career, Cossitt said she’s had a lot of experience in the brawling department. And now, she’s just looking for a few good real men, to help make her mixed martial arts dream a reality. Cage fights are brutal sporting matches that pit competitors against each other in a contest that can get bloody. So far, Cossitt said she hasn’t heard back from the cage-fight promoters she contacted, but she has a Plan B. If she can’t get a fight, she’s planning to grab the microphone during a cage match at local club the Hat Factory, and challenging the crowd. “Come on,” she said, “surely there is somebody here that will fight an old woman.”
