“Without a doubt, after the result of the fight between Weili (Zhang) and Joanna (Jedrzejczyk), the UFC could give me the opportunity to fight one of the two. Then, yes, fighting for the belt, especially since the result of the fight Rose (Namajunas) against Carla esparza (do not UFC 274). I believe that the beginning of next year will be a great date to fight for the belt”, said the Brazilian.
Leader of the division in 2019, Bate-Estaca does not hide his anxiety to, once again, find himself inserted in a clash for the title. The athlete ended up losing the throne in the confrontation against Weili Zhang, in his first title defense.
“I'm ready for the opportunity to fight for the belt, to become champion again”, she concluded.
This weekend, Bate-Estaca once again made history in the organization. The first woman to perform in three different weight categories, the fighter starred in the first standing hand triangle within the company.
