In a duel marked by a large difference in height, Josiane Nunes defeated Zarah Fairn by unanimous decision, in UFC 283. The Brazilian, who had a 16cm disadvantage compared to her opponent, believes that the power of her strikes was what caught the judges' attention.
“I wasn't sure (if I won), but I think I managed to connect the strongest blows. I expected it to be a difficult fight from the start, especially because of his height and his reach. It was difficult preparation, but I trained with men and women. My main coach is very tall and we did a lot of training”, said Josiane at a press conference after the fight.
