This highly anticipated title fight headlines RUF 61: Valentine’s Massacre on February 15, 2025, at the iconic Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona.
Jaeleen Robledo: The Champion’s Road to Glory
Jaeleen “The Natural” Robledo has earned her place at the top through sheer grit, discipline, and relentless training. A dominant force in the featherweight division, Robledo is known for her crisp striking, high fight IQ, and well-rounded ground game. Her title reign has solidified her as one of the top prospects in women’s MMA, and she’s looking to make a statement against a new challenger with world-class wrestling credentials.
Training out of Warriors Lair and SVG MMA Academy, Robledo has continued to refine her skills under elite-level coaches and training partners. Her ability to seamlessly transition between striking and grappling has made her a nightmare for opponents inside the cage. With a championship mindset and a track record of spectacular performances, Robledo is determined to prove why she is the undisputed queen of RUF MMA’s featherweight division.
Robledo on her upcoming fight: “Forrest is a world-class wrestler, but MMA is a different game. I respect her skills, but this is my division, my belt, and I’m ready to prove it once again.”
Forrest Molinari: A World-Class Wrestler Enters the Cage
Forrest Molinari is no stranger to championship gold. A bronze medalist at the 2021 World Wrestling Championships and a four-time Pan-American Champion, she brings an elite wrestling pedigree into the MMA cage. After narrowly missing Olympic qualification in 2024, Molinari shifted her focus to MMA, training at The MMA Lab in Arizona—one of the top gyms for developing well-rounded fighters.
Since making her professional MMA debut in November 2024, Molinari has rapidly adapted her wrestling-heavy approach to mixed martial arts, showing improvements in striking, clinch control, and submission defense. Her relentless pressure and elite-level takedowns pose a unique challenge for any opponent, and she enters RUF 61 with one goal—to dethrone the champion and claim the featherweight title.
Molinari on her transition to MMA: “Wrestling taught me how to grind, and now I’m here to dominate in MMA. Jaeleen is tough, but I’ve trained my whole life for championship moments. February 15, I’m taking that belt.”
Striker vs. Grappler: The Ultimate Clash of Styles
This fight represents the classic striker vs. grappler matchup that has long defined the sport of MMA. Robledo’s crisp striking and technical movement will be tested against Molinari’s powerful wrestling and relentless pace. The key factors in this fight will be:
âś… Can Robledo keep the fight standing and pick apart Molinari with her striking?
âś… Will Molinari be able to impose her grappling and take the fight to the ground?
âś… Who has the better endurance and fight IQ over five championship rounds?
Both fighters have high-level experience and an unbreakable will to win, making this one of the most exciting title fights in RUF history.
What’s at Stake?
The winner of this fight could see major opportunities beyond RUF MMA, potentially attracting attention from top promotions like UFC, Bellator, or PFL. Robledo has already made waves in the regional scene, and a dominant title defense could be her ticket to the next level. On the other hand, if Molinari pulls off the upset, she instantly becomes one of the most talked-about prospects in women’s MMA.
RUF 61 isn’t just about defending a belt—it’s about proving who deserves to be at the top.
