Ariane Lipski plots her ‘best performance ever’ against Karine Silva at UFC on ESPN 55

BAD MMA News — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 21:59:09 +0000

LAS VEGAS – Ariane Lipski ensured that if she was going to step into the octagon with Karine Silva, it would be under the best conditions possible. Prior to being booked for a women’s flyweight bout on Saturday at UFC on ESPN 55 at the UFC Apex (ESPN, ESPN+ ), Lipski (17-8 MMA, 6-5 UFC) said she was offered a short-notice matchup with Silva (17-4 MMA, 3-0 UFC) at UFC 299 in March. However, she chose to decline. “They offered me to fight her on 299 because she was supposed to fight with Lauren Murphy,” Lipski told MMA Junkie and other reporters at Wednesday’s media day. “So Lauren Murphy got injured in the fight and I said, ‘I can fight her, but I cannot fight on that date.’ Because I was in Brazil and I had family and business to take care of and I wasn’t training, and I just fought. I said, ‘I can fight anyone, I just need a full training camp.’ They rescheduled the fight for this Saturday.
