Lingerie Fighting Championships Offers Dianna Russini Cage Side Interviewer Job

LAS VEGAS, April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lingerie Fighting Championships (LFC) announced today that they have reached out to NFL reporter Dianna Russini to offer her a job as a cage side correspondent in the rapidly growing sports entertainment league.

“I have long been of fan of Russini’s work covering the NFL for the New York Times and The Athletic,” LFC’s Chief Executive Officer Shaun Donnelly said, “so I know what she could bring to our promotion in a cage side reporter role.”

Russini has been embroiled in a scandal after photos of her and New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel holding hands and hugging in a hot tub were leaked by the New York Post. When asked if that type of negative publicity worried him, Donnelly responded, “Not at all. I want LFC to be known as a league that gives people second chances.”

At this past weekend’s LFC47: Tusslemania, which went up against WWE Wrestlemania in Las Vegas, LFC welcomed back a fighter who had just been released from a 3 year prison sentence. The fighter had won 8 straight LFC matches prior to her incarceration and made her entrance in an orange prison jumpsuit that she ripped off as a symbol of her new freedom. “I know some people were critical of our decision to bring her back but I don’t like the double standard women often face in these cases. Why did Russini lose her job while Vrabel remains the Patriot’s head coach?”

If Russini accepts the LFC’s offer – which includes stock options in the publicly traded company (OTCID: BOTY) on top of a generous salary – she would follow in the footsteps of A.J. Kirsh (WWE and current host of Savannah Banana baseball) and A.J. Bunker (star of Love Island on Netflix). No word yet on whether Russini would have to change her name to A.J. to accept the job.

Events are broadcast live on their site at www.LFCfights.com and on several streaming platforms like LookHu, iDreamCTV and ToroTV.
