Two female bouts are rumored to be taking place at Lion Fight Promotions "Battle in the Desert 4" on November 19th at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Muay Thai Authority has been informed by sources close to the situation that the female bouts expected to take place the event are Elaina Maxwell vs. Roxy Richardson and Vivian Leung vs. Heidi Otterbein. There has been no official announcement by Lion Fight Promotions and the bouts join the earlier reported rumor by Muay Thai Authority regarding Coke Chunahawt vs. Rami Ibrahim taking place at Lion Fight Promotions "Battle in the Desert 4".

Roxy Richardson fights out of Los Angeles, CA and last competed over a year ago at Tuff Muay Thai in July of 2010. Richardson defeated Sheree Halliday via split decision and has since been looking to fight, but with a limited pool of female pro Muay Thai fighters in the United States it has proven to be difficult to book a fight.

Maxwell is better known for her MMA career, her fight with Gina Carano was the first female fight to be part of Strikeforce. In addition to Carano she has faced notable female MMA fighters Shayna Baszler and Meisha Tate. A Sanshou champion, Maxwell trains out of CSA gym in Dublin, CA under Kirian Fitzgibbons.

Vivian Leung and Heidi Otterbein both fight out of Canada and have made their names as some of the top women in the Canadian Muay Thai circuit.
