Rosi also has a very important bout ahead of her in October against Sheila Gaff for the Cage Warriors 125lb title and needs support and not only for the bout but for raising awareness about PEDS (Performance Enhancing Drugs). Rosi is looking to get tested (VADA) professionally to raise awareness but needs some assistance to meet her goal. Dr Johnny Benjamin has already donated 50% of the funds and a further 25% has been raised online. To help with whatever donation you can, follow the link and help Rosi meet this target and support this type of testing within sport and MMA.
