Despite the one-sided nature of the bout, Moura failed to make weight by 3.5 pounds, resulting in a deduction of 30 percent of her purse. However, her post-fight interview revealed her joy and confidence as she called out Diane Belbita.
“This is exactly what we trained for. Thankfully, we were able to execute it,” Moura told Michael Bisping through an interpreter. “I want to fight Belbita. I’m going to make her learn to bark like a dog.”
