(*sigh*)
In perhaps the most bizarre entry in the I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant canon since the show’s inception, Brazilian fighter Kinberly (not a typo) Novaes recently competed, and won, a strawweight title fight in Brazil while 12 weeks pregnant.
How did this happen? Well, it all started when Novaes signed her bout agreement for RFA 29: USA vs. Brazil against Jocelyn Jones Lybarger. Less than a week out from the event, Novaes was having a particularly tough time cutting weight, we she had initially passed off as an intestinal issue. When her troubles persisted and she was finally forced to consult a doctor, however, she found out that she was in fact six months pregnant.
