Tara Nicole LaRosa is an American mixed martial artist and grappler whose most high-profile successes occurred while competing in BodogFight, where she became the first and only BodogFight Women's Bantamweight (135 lbs) Champion. She later defeated HOOKnSHOOT 125-pound champion Cody Welchlin in a non-title bout at a HOOKnSHOOT/BodogFight co-sponsored event. LaRosa has spent most of her career competing at bantamweight, although her natural weight class is the flyweight division. She dominated the bantamweight division during her seven years in it, and became a flyweight in 2009. Per Fight Matrix, she was #1 at flyweight between 2010 and 2012. She holds wins over top mixed martial arts fighters such as Amanda Buckner, Kelly Kobold, Shayna Baszler, Alexis Davis, Julie Kedzie, Sally Krumdiack and Takayo Hashi.
