For me it just came naturally. When I started doing super fights age 14, 15, and it just came naturally to me to just walk confidently into the cage or the mat or wherever I'm fighting,

"This belt will be special if I win it, God willing. It's the belt that Laila Ali, Holly Holm and Amanda Serrano have held. They are legends of the sport."

Early on, Kamikubo repeatedly tried to take the fight to the ground, but the takedown defense of "Mulisha" was able to keep it mainly on the feet. Kamikubo repeatedly got his opponent down as the fight went on and looked for submissions, but both men were bloodied up. Late in the third round, do Nascimento would land a spinning elbow that almost led to a finish.

I wanted to get a shot at the title before, but the UFC said that Valentina (Shevchenko) was not going to be able to fight so soon. So they offered Rose's name and we said yeah,

Carano last fought in 2009 and subsequently went on to build a career in Hollywood. Carano made headlines after she was released by Lucasfilm in 2021 following controversial comments. Carano is now back in training at Syndicate MMA under coach John Wood. Wood says Carano got back in shape over the last few months and is training with professional fighters now. While Wood doesn't want to jump the gun, he isn't shutting down the idea of Carano returning to combat sports.

Larissa Pacheco couldn't resist taking a shot at Kayla Harrison. Responsible for the only defeat of the current UFC bantamweight champion in her 20-fight MMA career (19-1), Pacheco used her Instagram to taunt her former opponent with a carousel of six images and an ironic text. "The intern thought we should remember this day," Pacheco wrote. The post was made by the former Professional Fighters League champion 11 days before the fight between the champion and her current training partner, Amanda Nunes, on Jan. 24 in Las Vegas in the co-main event of UFC 324.

Namajunas looked like the quicker fighter early, practically bouncing on her feet. Silva fired a number of kicks, all of which missed. Through the first minute, little if anything either fighter had thrown actually landed. Silva nearly landed a shot clean off a caught kick, with Rose just pulling free in the nick of time. Namajunas then fired a kick of her own up high, which also missed.
