Lina Länsberg kommer att ta sig an ingen mindre än Crisitiane ”Cyborg” Justino redan som sin första match i UFC, då de möts under ”UFC: Fight Night 95” i Brasilien. Här kan ni läsa vad Länsberg hade att säga via ”MMAJunkie” inför det kommande mötet, och hon skulle inte vilja vara i ”Cyborgs” skor:
It’s tough for them to find opponents for Cris, and I’ve had a lot of standup fights before, so I do understand why they chose me. She beats opponents before they get in the cage. When she gets in there, and you see it in her last fight against (Leslie) Smith. You saw it from the start that she was beat walking to the cage. It’s definitely the biggest reason to why she wins all the time.
I’m lucky I’m not Cris in this actually because I know the feeling when you go into a fight and you have everything to lose and nothing to win really. I wouldn’t like to be her in this fight. It’s much better to be me to be the underdog and have everything to win.
I love elbows. They make everybody bleed so much, and I love that. It will be so much fun. She’s tough, and she’s going to bleed a lot. That’s why I do it. I’m going to enjoy it, and we’re going to have a good time, me and Cris.
This fight is absolutely a shortcut to the top, and it’s the best way possible. She is beatable. She has beat many good names, but also a lot of names that weren’t that good, and she’s still human. A lot of people win all the time, but everybody is beatable.
Länsberg har i dagsläget hela sex raka segrar bakom sig, där fyra av dem tillkommit via TKO. Sist såg vi henne slå ut Maria Hougaard Djursaa, då de möttes under ”Odense Fight Night 5”.
