Nadia Kassem spoke following her win over Alex Chambers in the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 121 and said she wants to face Paige VanZant. Highlights from the interview are below, per MMAjunkie:
On VanZant: “I would love to fight Paige VanZant at 125 (pounds). She beat Alex previously, I just beat her tonight, and I feel like that would make the most sense.”
On missing weight for the 115 pound fight: “I tried my best. I stopped sweating in the sauna. I was in there all night, cutting water weight for a whole day. … Everyone feels like crap in the sauna. Sweatsuit on, the boys are sweating, and I’m not. That scares me.”
On getting the win: “It was an awesome feeling getting a win. I was attacking the (submissions), going for everything. My heart was on the line. I wanted to prove a point that I’m here to stay.”
