Viviane Pereira Doesn’t Know What Will Happen When She Faces Valerie Letourneau

Viviane Pereira spoke with MMAjunkie ahead of her fight with Valerie Letourneau at UFC 206. Some highlights are below:

On Letourneau: “She’s an excellent fighter. It’s no accident that she’s ranked. I can’t say what will happen. Once I’m in there, if we need to strike, we will, and if it goes to ground, we’re ready for that, too. I feel fine facing a taller opponent. I think she may be as tall as Duda Yankovich, so that’s not a problem.”

On taking the short notice fight: “I’ve never picked my opponents. I’ve always faced experienced fighters. Duda Yankovich was the only one who hurt me. I ended up not being able to see for 15 days. She was very tough. But I don’t choose opponents. I’ll face anyone.”
