Brazilian MMA fighter Karol Rosa will face Lina Lansberg in Saturday’s highly-anticipated bout from the UFC 280 card. She lost her last fight to Sara McMann at the UFC on ESPN 33 – Blaydes vs. Daukaus via unanimous decision, which was preceded by 4 consecutive wins at the UFC.
“I had four straight wins until my last fight. I know Lina likes to fight on her feet and so do I. She is coming off two straight defeats, I am coming off one, but I don’t feel pressure. I’m really hungry to get back in the win column”, said Karol Rosa. “I really wanted to fight Raquel Pennington. She’s fifth in the [UFC] rankings and it would be a good fight for me because her fighting style fits well with mine. But she already has a fight scheduled [against Ketlen Vieira]. So, I have in mind Pannie Kianzad, who is above me [ranked seventh] and I’m sure it would be a great fight fight too”, added she.
The Vale Tudo fighter will be missing head trainer Gilliard Parana in her corner at UFC 280, as she could not travel to Abu Dhabi due to personal issues, but Karol Rosa says his absence will not affect her performance.
“This will be the first time without my master Parana. I’m sad because he won’t be there, but he trusts me and I’ll win for us. And, of course, I will dedicate the victory to him”, said also Karol Rosa.
Karol Rosa is Brazilian MMA fighter, who has a personal MMA record of 15-4-0 (W-L-D). Her opponent Lina Lansberg has a personal MMA record of 10-6-0 (W-L-D).
