Ketlen Vieira Says USADA Testing Hurt Her Weight Cut

Ketlen Vieira spoke (via MMAjunkie) following her split-decision win over Kelly Fasholz at UFC Fight Night 96. Some highlights are below:

On who she wants to fight next: “I’d like to fight Lauren Murphy, who beat Kelly Fasholz. I’d like her. If the UFC puts me against her, I want it. If it’s in Sao Paulo (UFC Fight Night 100 on Nov. 19), or whatever, I want her.”

On her weight cut issues: “I was going well on my weight cut, but during it, USADA came to test me, and that hurt me a lot. I had to drink almost one liter of water, and that was an added 2.2 pounds that I had to cut at the last minute.”

On wanting to finish her next bout: “I think I have a lot more to show. It was positive for a debut, but we’re going to look to keep evolving. I also thought I won every round, but when we leave it to the judges, we subject ourselves to this. Next time I’ll train harder to finish the fight and not leave it up to the judges.”
