Speaking to reporters in a post-fight media scrum (via MMAjunkie), UFC fighter Ashlee Evans-Smith discussed her win over Veronica Macedo. Below are some highlights.

On wanting a rematch with Raquel Pennington: “She is on a good winning streak, and who am I to say, give me a higher-ranked opponent, since I’m only 13 (in the UFC rankings). But yeah, I’ll say it: I would like to fight Raquel Pennington again. I want a with rematch her. I’m not going to take that win away from her, but there are certain times in MMA when you say, ‘Oh, that person just got caught.’ I’ve never said that – except for that one time.”

On why she wants a rematch: “She’s getting better and better, but I think it would be an awesome fight. She might not want it, because I’m ranked lower than her. But I’m calling her out.”
