“I fought at bantamweight because it was easy to make the weight, and most of the girls in Europe were bantamweights, and it was really hard to find opponents for me,” he explained. 

“But, once I tried flyweight, I figured out that for me it’s a big advantage. I'm tall, I'm big, faster, and for me, it makes sense to take this advantage.” 

Szabova prepared for her UFC debut in Sydney, Australia, under the watchful eye of head coach Renato Subotic, and training alongside Serbian UFC newcomer Nina Milosevic, who earned a Performance of the Night bonus in her debut victory in August.

“It was very good camp,” said Szabova.

“Experienced women there. Nobody makes camp like this. So I think I am prepared to the detail, every detail.”
