“My family is out of town, but it's still dangerous. The entire territory is now dangerous to stay, because the Russians can come to the village. My father makes a lot of Molotov cocktails and has a few guns at home. My sister's husband goes to the army and is protecting the city. My family wants to stay. My mom said, 'No, we don't want to move. We're staying at home. No matter what happens, we will try to live as best we can.' And I cry, because I'm afraid something will happen. Someone enter the house. I'm scared to think about it, and it's just scary to me,” Moroz said.

The Ukrainian fighter spoke about her family's reluctance to leave the country and made clear her concern about a possible invasion by the Russian army.

“I want to save my family. I want my family to move, but they say: 'No, we have a farm, we have animals. I love my animals. I love my cow. I love chicken. So no, I'll stay. Take your weapons and I will stay in my house.' They are ready to kill the Russian army if they enter the house”, concluded the Ukrainian.

After almost two years away from the most famous octagon in the world, Moroz returned to Ultimate in UFC 272, which took place last Saturday (05) with a submission victory over Maria Agapova. The Ukrainian athlete has a record of 11 triumphs and three setbacks in professional MMA.
