Melissa Croden Interview (26:06)
Closing out this UFC Vancouver edition of TTP is our interview with UFC bantamweight, Melissa Croden. Croden discusses getting signed by the UFC outright. While so many fighters are being forced to go through the Contender Series, The Ultimate Fighter, or taking fights on short notice – the UFC just decided they wanted to be in the Melissa Croden business. We also talk about getting the chance to make that debut in Canada – even if it’s not terribly close to her home town. And after that, we get into a stylistic breakdown of the fight itself. She throws does with Tainara Lisboa – who has already compiled a 2-1 record in the UFC – on Saturday night.
