We have a traditional culture and people think that women have to stay at home, not fight. Most MMA fans are men, women don't watch it, so it doesn't matter if I fight well or badly, they don't think MMA is for women. If I fight well, they hate it, so I don’t care about these people”, Kunitskaya reported to the Combate website
For training, the Russian had to move to the United States, where she had the help of the American Holly holm last opponent that faced the Brazilian.
“She helped me a lot. She had a great fight (referring to Cyborg), she went all five rounds. We made a strategy for the fight, Holly and Tussa (the Russian's jiu-jitsu coach) helped me a lot. I think she’s a really strong girl, but I’m also a really strong, tough girl, so I think it’s going to be a good fight.”
