Adult film actress Rebecca Bryggman suffered a devastating first round TKO defeat on her professional MMA debut.
The Long Island-based fighter, who describes herself as "your favourite pornstar MMA fighter," came up against fellow debutant Elise Reed on the Bellator 231 undercard this weekend.

Bryggman, whose screen name is Orion Starr, was victorious in her first two amateur bouts for the Triton Fights promotion in New York, where she picked up wins against Sara Lopez and Alayna DeFranco.
The 25-year-old was understandably confident ahead of the bout against Reed.
"Tonight I sacrifice her soul." she said on her official Instagram. "Can't wait to fight I've worked long and hard for this pro debut and opportunity on @bellatormma.

"I'm so happy and exited I made my dreams a reality and keep striving forward up the ladder. Nothing will stop me...nothing!"
The stage was set but Bryggman rarely troubled Reed, who is the highest-ranked woman in Virginia Military Institute history.
In the latter stages of the opening round, Reed pinned Bryggman up against the cage and unleashed a flurry of heavy punches.

The referee was forced to step in and stop the fight with just 13 seconds remaining in the first.
The 25-year-old fighter reacted to her debut defeat on Facebook earlier.

"Lost the battle but not the war." she said. "So proud of myself you win some you lose some. I'll be back Bellator. Great fight to @raisingtherufus and I'm hungry for more fights to overcome.
"Thank you to my team @maxum_bjj @anthonysnoble @alexjaristides for supporting me."
