Szabova key quotes, UFC Fight Night 292
“It feels really amazing. I still can't realize what is happening right now. I have been working very hard for this moment and for this opportunity and now it became reality, so it's a very good feeling.”
“This fight, I think, was very good for (my debut in the UFC), and this is just the beginning of this journey. I'm really happy. What's next, I would really like to fight in a couple of months – soon. The best would be really in February in Sydney if it's possible.”
“It's really an honor to fight from a small country like Slovakia. I think we have really good fighters, and I proved tonight that a small country can make a big statement.”
