Aleksandar Rakic

“It feels amazing. My first main event and in the fight capital, I had a lot of pressure because many people from my home were watching and supporting me. The pressure is off my shoulders and I’m happy with my performance against a veteran and former title challenger. You know what’s next. The belt is next.”

Neil Magny:

“I feel great. That was a huge win for me. It definitely propels my career forward. I’m definitely a threat in the welterweight division. These guys already knew I was here, but it's just getting to the point where they can't avoid me anymore.”

Ricardo Lamas:

“I walked into this thinking it could maybe be my last fight. I didn’t want to walk away with a loss. I always said I don't want to leave this sport in the dirt. I want to leave with my head held high. That's a fight I can be proud of.”

Alexa Grasso:

“The only thing I want to prove clear is that I belong here and I belong at the top of the division. I’m here to prove that every time I step in the Octagon.”
