Randa Markos håller just nu på att låta ett par skador att läka och siktar på att få vara med när UFC kommer till Ottawa och hon vill helst möta Bec Rawlings, säger hon i en intervju på SportsRants.com.
Randa Markos (5-3) var en av deltagarna på ”The Ultimate Fighter 20” där hon var en del av Team Pettis och gjorde sin UFC-debut på säsongsfinalen där hon förlorade mot Jessica Penne (12-3). Hon har tidigare utmanat på Paige VanZant (6-2) och Bec Rawlings (7-4) och det är Rawlings, som var med i Team Melendez under samma säsong, som hon helst vill möta.
“Yeah definitely I’d love to take that fight. I asked for that fight a little while ago when I couldn’t get Paige but she said she was injured so I was hoping to get it when she was better. So hopefully that’s something that’s in the future for me, I’d love that fight. I didn’t like the way she responded to me when I asked for that fight, it was kind of unnecessary but whatever that’s her mentality and her way to play the game but I’m ready whenever she is.”
Markos var inte särskilt glad över sin prestation i matchen mot polskan Karolina Kowalkiewicz (8-0) på UFC on FOX 17, en match som gick fram och tillbaka, en match som hon till slut förlorade via enhälligt beslut.
“I didn’t feel like I was myself at any point in that fight. In the first round, she got me really good in the eye and my vision went blurry and I just kept trying to listen to my corner and I wasn’t comfortable with my corner. I just felt off the entire time, there’s no excuses she’s just a really good fighter and she’s got really good footwork. She was constantly running away and I wasn’t able to hold her down like I wanted to. I really feel like I’d do a lot better if I had a second chance but maybe later in the future.”
