Julia Budd Says She’s Most Well-Rounded Featherweight In The World

July 14, 2018 | Posted by Joseph Lee

In an interview with MMA Junkie, Julia Budd says that after her win at Bellator 202, she’s the most well-rounded featherweight fighter in the world. Here are highlights:

On possibly fighting Sinead Kavanagh next: “I don’t think anyone would be a potential threat, but I think there’s some good challenges out there. I think Talita was the one to threaten it. I think she thought, ‘OK, if I got put on my back.’ It just wasn’t happening. I wasn’t going to get caught in something silly. That’s what we prepared for since March. I think if there was anything she would have been the person, but I like the idea of fighting Sinead. I feel like she’s kind of established herself in Bellator. Some of the other girls, they’re not fighting. I don’t know what’s going on. I know it’s not Bellator. I don’t know why they’re not fighting. They signed all these girls and it’s like, ‘Get your butts in the cage and actually prove yourselves.’ I’m not going to fight some 1-1 person that just because they call me out. … Earn your way up a little bit more. I think I’m the most well-rounded 145er in the world.”

On a fight with Valerie LeTourneau: “I’d be down for that. Wherever. I’d love to fight in Montreal, I have tons of family in Toronto, I have tons of family in B.C. and it would be cool to go somewhere in Canada and represent, but I’ve actually started to grow and like it down here in Thackerville, as well. I’ve got lots of family. It’s my fourth time down here. Wherever it is I’m all good.”
