Nadia Kassem wants Paige VanZant flyweight fight after missing 115 pounds in UFC debut

BAD MMA News — Sun, 19 Nov 2017 15:28:55 +0000

Filed under: Featured , News , UFC SYDNEY – The last time Nadia Kassem mixed it up with Alex Chambers was during a training session before she was even a pro fighter. This time was on the prelims of UFC Fight Night 121 in Sydney, where Kassem (5-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) won a unanimous decision in her UFC debut , and she’s hoping for a much higher profile bout in her next outing as a result. “I would love to fight Paige VanZant at 125 (pounds),” Kassem said. “She beat Alex previously, I just beat her tonight, and I feel like that would make the most sense.” It would also make things a little easier on Kassem, who missed weight for this 115-pound affair and found herself trying to explain it in post-fight remarks backstage. “I tried my best,” Kassem told MMAjunkie.
