UFC: What’s your favorite part about fighting?
LM: I love to challenge myself, mentally and physically. I have that athlete switch where I just really enjoy competition and seeing the new aspects every time I step in the cage.
UFC: What are your thoughts on Yanan Wu?
LM: My opponent I believe is more of a striker, but I don’t think she realizes what a good striker I am. Like I said I don’t show all my different tools so everyone hasn’t seen my ground game. So I’m expecting to take her down pretty fast and get a quick finish.
UFC: If all goes well for you on Saturday, what’s the next six months to a year look like for you? What do you want to accomplish?
LM: I want another fight right away. I’ve already spoken to Dana and I told him I wanted to fight after this if I have no injuries. I want to stay active and I want to stay out there and get noticed.
UFC: Do you think this fight will get the attention of the division?
LM: Absolutely. Everyone is going to know my name after this fight.
