“I think they (UFC) should give me a very good opponent at strawweight, I will deserve that. Nothing was ever given to me in this life, I always deserved it. And that doesn't bother me, because it shapes character. I want to fight the best, I'm not afraid to face the best because that means I'm the best. I would love to fight someone like Rose (Namajunas). She's an incredible striker, a great martial artist. She also had to overcome a lot of things in her life, regarding her as a person. I feel like it's an honor to share the cage with someone like that. I want to fight Rose or anyone else they offer me”, said Tatiana.
