Marion Reneau wants a top 10 opponent: “Hopefully someone in the top 10 (is next). They offered me Germaine and without hesitation I said, ‘Yes.’ Even though I was told many times, ‘Don’t take that fight, don’t take that fight.’ I’m like, ‘Why? Why am I even going to be in the UFC and turn down fights, that doesn’t make sense to me.’ I want the hardest, I want the best because I want to be the best. I want to fight against the best. I want to move up. I absolutely said yes. Unfortunately she backed out, but I want to work my way to the top 10.”

Her thoughts on Oliveira: “I absolutely expected her to be tough. I don’t think the UFC is going to bring any girls into the octagon who are not tough and are not ready. She was very hungry for this, as well as I. I knew she was going to be a little tough.”

Marion Reneau on getting back to training: “As soon as these things heal I’ll be right back in. Next week I’ll be back to training. It’s not something that is going to hinder me or stop me. You’re going to get battle wounds any time you’re in there. … This is my first cut that I’ve ever experienced inside the octagon. It’s not one of those things where I’m going to back down and go, ‘I need to take six months off.’ No, I want to get right back to it.”
