Background

[edit]

Frey was born in Arkansas and grew up in Texas.[5] She graduated from Palo Duro High School in three years with a distinguished achievement diploma in the top 2% of her class. She then earned her associate degree in nuclear medicine from Amarillo College. She went to Midwestern State University, getting a BS in radiologic sciences and then the University of Texas at Arlington for her Masters in August 2015.[6]

Her father is South Korean, and he died when she was young. She has one older brother, two younger half brothers and one younger half sister.[5] She is married to Douglas Frey.

Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

Jinh Yu Frey first gained notoriety when she defeated Darla Harris in an MMA fight that went viral online.[7]

Invicta FC

[edit]

Frey's earlier victories on regional MMA circuit drew the attention of Invicta FC. Jinh Yu Frey's first fight was against Jodie Esquibel which she lost via decision.[8] In her second fight with the organisation she defeated fellow atomweight Cassie Robb.[9]

Frey went on to defeat Liz McCarthy and Hérica Tibúrcio via a pair of unanimous decisions, earning a shot for the Invicta FC Atomweight Championship.[10] Frey challenged Ayaka Hamasaki for the Atomweight Championship at Invicta FC 19: Maia vs. Modafferi on September 23, 2016. She lost the fight via doctor stoppage in the second round.[11]

After the failed title shot, Frey faced Ashley Cummins at Invicta FC 24: Dudieva vs. Borella on July 15, 2017. She won the fight via unanimous decision.

Back in the win column, Frey challenged Seo Hee Ham for the Road FC Women's Atomweight Championship at Road FC 045 XX on December 23, 2017. She lost the fight via knockout in the first round.

Second Invicta FC title shot

[edit]

After her former foe Ayaka Hamasaki vacated her title, Frey faced Minna Grusander for the vacant Invicta FC Atomweight Championship at Invicta FC 30: Frey vs. Grusander on July 21, 2018.[12] After being mostly outwrestled, Frey won the title via a unanimous decision that was widely regarded as controversial.[13][14][15]

Due to the controversial decision, the couple was slated to face in a rematch at Invicta FC 33: Frey vs. Grusander II on December 15, 2018. Frey successfully defended the title, winning the fight via split decision.[16]

After the rematch with Grusander, Frey went on to challenge Ayaka Hamasaki for the Rizin Super Atomweight Championship at Rizin 16: Kobe on June 2, 2019. Frey lost the fight via unanimous decision.[17]

Frey was expected to defend her title as a headliner of Invicta FC 37 in a rematch against Ashley Cummins, but was forced to withdraw from the bout due to an injury.[18] The bout was then rescheduled to Invicta FC 39: Frey vs. Cummins II on February 7, 2020. However, Frey missed the championship weight and vacated her title.[19] The pair fought nevertheless, with Frey winning the bout via unanimous decision.
