Viviane Araujo Explains Late Exchange with Karine Silva at UFC 309
Briefly

"I feel like a dream come true. I feel accomplished. The energy in Madison Square Garden was amazing. It's surreal to feel the people there, especially against a girl, a prospect to be a contender, so it makes me feel even more accomplished with the win that I got."
"I locked it pretty good, and I have to take my hat off, I have respect for her. I really thought it was there, but she was able to get out of it."
"At the end of the first round, she went for a takedown and the time expired, and she kind of continued to pull me down... After the fight, she came up to me and said that her glove got caught on my own shorts, so that's the reason I was pulled down."
"Brazil's Araujo, 37, has fought some of the biggest names in the flyweight division... she's still not ready to call it a day."
