“Actually, it’s more about my performance. About not doing something I shouldn't do. É It's about being this big resistance, big amount of conditioning, going for it all the time. And just knead, knead my opponent a lot. É about this”, projected the former champion.
"I'm not kidding this time. I will go there and my goal is to enter that octagon, submit, destroy my opponent, get my belt back and pick up where I left off. Everything I have, my strength, the mentality, the power, the character, the spirit, they are all aimed at this Saturday."
"Alexa only had a blow that was successful in the first round. And people are watching this scam like they never watched the other. fight, they say anything. It wasn't like that. It was a moment, but it ended up defining the entire fight. I was winning the fight. This is MMA and e is; It's a difficult game. Things like this happen, but the most important thing right now is that I have the opportunity to make things right and show what should have been done the first time."
Speak up, Alexa Grasso!
“I always like to talk about my work. I know what I did (in the first fight), that my work was good. I know I won this fight well. Many things change (for the rematch). Now she is the challenger. I know what she's doing. Living now, she wants to take my belt. That's why I trained hard, I'm ready. Of course I like the exchange, but it's difficult. Interesting to see what her game will be. Maybe she'll try to take the fight to the ground, but I made a lot of adjustments to get everything ready. So I can't wait for that day,” declared the Mexican.
“Of course, I would like (this card) to be in Mexico. I have a dream that one day the UFC will come to my city, in Guadalajara. I think it could happen. I will work very hard for this. But it is It's a very important date (Mexico's independence), an important place, I'm very grateful for the organization giving me these great opportunities.
