Joei Fulco had just wrapped up a soaring duet of Tina Turner’s The Best on The Voice when her coach for the season, Blake Shelton, brought up an interesting tidbit.
His powerhouse singer also knows a thing or two about power punching.
The country music superstar mentioned that Fulco trains in MMA and her singing partner Todd Michael Hall added in awe that Fulco regularly gets punched in the face. In reaction to that comment, in front of millions watching worldwide, the 22-year-old Tennessee native excitedly remarked, “It’s fun!”
That might make sense to your average MMA fan, but to your average reality singing show devotee that statement probably came as a bit of a shock given Fulco’s cheery disposition and the fact that her talents have her in the thick of a realty singing competition and not preparing to fight in a cage somewhere.
