Leslie Smith will have a very thankless task on May 14th, at UFC 198, in Curitiba (PR). The North American will host the Chris Cyborg in the octagon, measuring forces with the most feared fighter today. Even so, she is confident that her mission is not to be the Brazilian's first victim in the UFC, but rather to cause surprise and emerge with victory.
Even though Cyborg has been massacring all her opponents for years, Smith considers that she has what it takes to beat her. “Cyborg is beatable. She is super beatable. She is not a machine. There is a way to beat everyone who enters the Octagon. This will be my job for the next six weeks: figure out a strategy to beat her. I'm saying that there are gaps to beat everyone, and I'm going to find them”, assured the fighter, in an interview with the North American website “MMA Fighting”.
At 33 years old, Leslie, a pupil of César Gracie, has a record of eight wins, six losses and one draw in professional MMA.
