Manchester – UFC strawweight Bruna Brasil went into UFC 304 knowing that she was up against Molly McCann in her home country with the crowd on her side, but she still took the decision over ‘Meatball’ on Saturday night.
“The fight against Molly for me was big challenge,” Brasil told reporters including Cageside Press at her post-fight scrum.
“In England, her house, I (imagined my performance) every day. Was amazing.”
Brasil (10-4-1) landed a lot of knees to the body of McCann, but never gave up. Regardless of how much damage she took McCann wouldn’t give Brasil the finish. The Brazilian was ready for that.
“I imagined Molly (wouldn’t) give up. So I trained for three rounds. I trained the knees a lot,” she said.
With a big win in hostile territory against the very popular McCann in such dominant fashion Brasil shot her shot for a bonus.
“I am prepared for the fight. I deserve good things. I deserve the bonus for the fight because I’m (the) underdog. I’m here in Molly’s house England,” she said.
Unfortunately for Brasil she did not earn a bonus at UFC 304, but certainly bigger fights are on the horizon for the strawweight.
