Oxygen network reality series star, Ardra Hernandez, will make her K-1 fight card debut during a 115 pound limit preliminary bout with Cung Le protégé, Van Milnes, at the “World GP 2007 in Las Vegas” event at Las Vegas, Nevada’s Bellagio on Saturday.

The 32-year-old Hernandez gained distinction this summer as a standout competitor on Fight Girls, which, for six weeks, followed 10 young women living and training together in Las Vegas in their efforts to fulfill their dreams of becoming Muay Thai superstars.

After the fifth episode, Hernandez became one of five Fight Girls contestants selected to compete in Thailand, Muay Thai’s birthplace, as a result of her on-going success throughout the show, which included a three-round, unanimous decision victory over fellow.

Labeled as “The Free Spirit” by the show’s producers, Mess Media, Hernandez is a student of Las Vegas-based Muay Thai trainer Master Toddy, who also served as head trainer on the show. She is also a dedicated mother. Last year, Fight Girls premiered on Oxygen as a special, single episode program that showcased seven Toddy protégés vying for the opportunity to travel to Thailand where they would face the top female Muay Thai fighters in the world. The show’s popularity led to the creation of the spin-off series in which Hernandez was a contestant.

Like her undefeated world champion trainer, Milnes is a native of Vietnam who fled the war-torn country for The United States in the 1970s. After settling down in Springfield, Illinois at the age of 12, Milnes took up Tae Kwon Do before relocating with her family two years later to northern California.

In 2002, she made the acquaintance of Le, who introduced her to San Shou kickboxing. Milnes has since captured two gold medals in national tournament competition and, in 2005, she became the International Kickboxing Federation (IKF) United States San Shou Featherweight Champion.
