“Call the cops,” LaRosa can be heard saying. “Stop, stop, stop. Relax.”
Someone in the background can be heard screaming “How do you like the Proud Boys now?” while the pinned-down woman denied attacking anyone.
LaRosa accused the unnamed woman of provoking the flag-wavers.

“You’re antagonizing the city I live in,” the protester told LaRosa, who is still on top of her. “Just let me breathe.”
“No, we’re not, we’re doing a flag wave,” LaRosa said. “We’re not trying to fight.”
During the physical exchange, the woman allegedly bit LaRosa in the breast through her shirt and bra, leaving a bite mark behind. LaRosa also scraped her neck and knees during the ordeal.
The Oregonian reported the case has been referred to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office and no arrests have been made.
Portland Police Sgt. Kevin Allen told the newspaper authorities are still gathering info on the alleged attack, noting there are “conflicting versions of the events.”
A former number one ranked female fighter of the world, the 5-foot-6, 125-pound LaRosa has a 22-5 record and has fought (and won) against the likes of Shayna Baszler, Alexis David, Amanda Buckner and Julie Kedzie.
