Mixed martial arts career edit
Amateur career edit
Eggink had her first amateur mixed martial arts bout on July 2, 2010, when she faced Jillian Lybarger at Tuff-N-Uff: Tough Girls. She won the bout via third round triangle choke.[3] Following this, Eggink would go 3–1 as an amateur, and also unsuccessfully challenged for the Amateur Tuff-N-Uff Flyweight Championship, losing the championship bout against Jenny Yum via split decision. She would turn professional in early 2011. In March 2012, she suffered a humiliating loss to Kaline Medeiros after getting knocked out just seven seconds into the fight. Eggink suffered a Level 4 concussion and was unable to create new memories for a day.
Xtreme Fighting Championships edit
After a 1–1 stint on the regional circuit, Eggink signed with Florida based promotion Xtreme Fighting Championships. Eggink faced Heather Clark in her debut at XFC 21: Night of Champions 2 on December 7, 2012.[4][5] She won the fight via unanimous decision.[6]
In her second bout with the promotion, Eggink faced Brianna Van Buren at XFC 23: Louisville Slugfest on April 19, 2013.[7] She won the fight via unanimous decision.[8]
For her next bout in the promotion, she challenged Angela Magaña for the XFC Strawweight Championship at XFC 25: Boiling Point on September 6, 2013.[9] She won the championship fight via second round triangle choke.[10]
Invicta FC edit
Following her impressive championship win, Eggink would vacate the XFC Strawweight Championship and subsequently signed with the all-female promotion Invicta FC.[11] She faced Katja Kankaanpää for the vacant Strawweight Championship at Invicta FC 8: Waterson vs. Tamada on September 6, 2014. Eggink lost the bout via fifth round D'Arce choke, and both fighters would earn Fight of the Night honors for their efforts.[12][13]
Eggink was expected to face Alexa Grasso at Invicta FC 16: Hamasaki vs. Brown on March 11, 2016. Grasso withdrew with an injury on March 2 and was replaced by Angela Hill.[14] She lost the fight by a second-round technical knockout.[15]
