Ariane Lipski never backs down—a trait on which she prides herself.
“It’s been 10 years since I’ve been fighting as a professional,” she told Sherdog.com. “I’m very proud of the fact that I’ve always accepted fights against experienced opponents throughout my career. Most of them came from top gyms and still fight in major promotions. I’m also happy that I’m always ready to fight and put on a good show. Even when fights didn’t go my way, I’ve always been able to show I was ready for the challenge.”
The former KSW champion will look to climb another rung on the Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s flyweight ladder and perhaps crack the promotion’s Top 15 rankings for the first time when she confronts Casey O'Neill as part of the UFC 296 undercard this Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
