Open quotes!
I felt that we were going to face some time, so I wasn't surprised. She é the toughest opponent I would face in a fight that wasn't worth the belt, so I figured I'd fight her. When they called me offering their name, I saw that the time had come for us to face each other. Ketlen fights hard, hard. É very strong in the clinch, has good takedowns and great displacements. It also puts a lot of pressure when you're on the go. above on the floor. She has many weapons, é complete. But I will be better in each of these aspects, but I definitely need to impose my game and be attentive to everything. She seems to feel comfortable until; even with the back on the ground, taking a fall, in the clinch or with space. I need to be on, and I will be.''
