August 4, 2017 | Posted by Joseph Lee

In an interview with MMA Junkie, Randa Markos (7-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) said she’s looking forward to her UFC Fight Night 114 fight against Alexa Grasso (9-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC). The fight happens at the Mexico City Arena in Mexico. It airs on FS1 after early preliminary fights on UFC Fight Pass. Here are highlights:

On playing the villain in Grasso’s home country: “I’m looking forward to it, actually. I’ve done it before. I used to fight in Michigan, and I’m from Canada, and I’ve had just the entire crowd boo me when I’m walking out. But then they’re cheering for me when I walk back to my room, so I’m exited to gain fans this weekend.”

On wanting to prove herself: “I feel like I haven’t proven myself yet – with some losses I feel like I shouldn’t have had in the past. I really haven’t proven myself, but this is my opportunity. Alexa Grasso is a very good competitor. I’m really excited to be fighting her on Saturday, and I just need to prove myself on Saturday night.”
