Syuri Kondo Is Happy With Her UFC Debut Performance

Syuri Kondo spoke with MMAjunkie following her win over Chan-Mi Jeon at UFC Fight Night 117 over the weekend, which was her debut fight with the company.

On coming to the UFC: “I became a champ in kickboxing and pro wrestling, and when I thought about the next goal, I saw the imagery of the UFC and fighting, and I thought, ‘This is it. This is the top of the world, and that’s where I’m going to go.'”

On her performance: “Making a debut in the UFC is totally different than other debuts, and my goal is to become a UFC champion one day. I think I had a great start.”

On her next fight: “I was focused so much on this match, so I have no idea who I want to fight next. But whoever it’s going to be, I’m going to train hard and make sure I win.”
