With three consecutive victories against ranked opponents in the division, Marina has few options ahead of her in the rankings who don't have a fight scheduled. One of them would be the former champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk, currently second in the ranking. For the Gaucho, however, the Polish should not even appear on the list due to inactivity.
“Honestly, Joanna already said she doesn’t want to fight me, so I don’t want to fight her either. For me, she shouldn't be in the rankings, because she doesn't fight anymore. She should give space to the other girls who are struggling, fighting three times a year to gain space”, said Marina.
Thinking about your future in the category, Marina Rodriguez guarantees that he would face any opponent, but gives preference to names that are ahead of him in the division ranking, such as the Chinese yan xiaonan.
“It could be the yan xiaonan or whoever it is, but I prefer it to be someone in front of me”, concluded Marina.
Quoted by Marina, yan xiaonan occupies fourth place in the category ranking. The Chinese was defeated by Carla esparza in his last appearance, in May of this year, interrupting an unbeaten run that lasted 12 fights.
