MMA career
Kedzie rose to prominence in mixed martial arts on November 19, 2005, when she won the one-night HOOKnSHOOT Women's Grand Prix in Evansville, Indiana. She repeated this feat in 2006.
On February 10, 2007, Kedzie faced undefeated rising star Gina Carano in a featured bout at EliteXC: Destiny, which aired live on Showtime. She was defeated by Carano, but the fight received Fight of the Night honours.
The Commercial Appeal, the daily newspaper for Memphis, Tennessee, called the fight, "The first women's MMA fight ever shown on cable television."
Following the EliteXC fight, Kedzie defeated Kelly Kobold at a BodogFight event in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was just the second time that Kobold had been defeated in 19 fights.
Kedzie later signed a contract with the American Fight League, but the promotion folded and Kedzie was released from her contract.
Along with her fighting career, Kedzie is also Greg Jackson's personal assistant at Jackson's Mixed Martial Arts.
