Justin Kish Discusses Her UFC Fight Night 112 Bout With Felice Herrig

MMAjunkie recently spoke to UFC fighter Justine Kish ahead of her fight with Felice Herrig at UFC Fight Night 112. The fight is set for tomorrow in Oklahoma City. Here are some highlights.

Kish on seeing herself getting to the title level: “I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but I see myself going against the champ real soon. There are things that I would love to do that people are not doing yet against her, so I hope she continues to win, Joanna continues to win, because I really want to be the one to beat her.”

Her thoughts on Felice Herrig: “I’m actually a Felice Herrig fan, because she’s a pioneer. She’s accomplished a whole bunch. This is a great opportunity for me, as if I do well and I’m successful in it, it’s going to be a springboard because she has a huge following. Successful or not, she has a big following. That’s going to draw a lot of attention to me no matter what, but it feels like I belong here, and it feels like it should have happened a long time ago, but I’m totally appreciating the pace of it.”

Kish on wanting a finish: “I don’t want another decision fight. I want a decisive finish, a vicious finish in this fight just to prove to myself I can be decisive in critical moments, not just hanging around waiting for her to move. … Just finding the times I should actually capitalize and finish things as opposed to just waiting it out and figure out what’s going to happen next.”
