Milosevic key quotes, UFC Fight Night 293

“I watch UFC and I'm following all the ladies, not just my division, but the pay-per-view ones. I know I'm going to stay, so why not (fight again next week)? If I fight and I'm unscathed, why not just continue fighting? I'm not just throwing away an eight-week camp for nothing. If I can continue the roll, I will. I really want to be active. That's all it is.”

“She's a veteran and there's no way to bully her. You just have to not give her time to think, just try to bully a bully a little bit. But also, the game plan was pretty straightforward. It was to push her to the fence, take her down and just ground-and-pound or go for the finish. Whether it was a submission or TKO, it really didn't matter. I followed through, and we eventually got the TKO in the second round. I was very, very happy. I've studied her before. She's been in the UFC forever. Respect to her. She's always got that dog in her. She would never back down.”

“I’m already thinking about the Sydney card. I'm based in Sydney, so the 7th of November would be perfect. I'm already there, so financially, they don't have to pay for my flight. It would be good if me and Lucia (Szabova), because she's my teammate, can fight on the same card. That would be amazing. We would have all the people around us behind us. They will be there watching. All our sponsors will be there. The (arena) will be full because of us, or at least a lot of people will be there for us, not just for the main event, let's put it that way.”
