“The Queen of Violence” wants to make a statement in her UFC debut.
Ariane Lipski enters the Octagon for the first time in the company’s first-ever card on ESPN+, booked for Jan. 19 in Brooklyn, NY, against experienced Scottish fighter Joanne Calderwood, and sees it as the first step towards the UFC flyweight gold.
A former KSW flyweight champion, Lipski had to wait a little longer to make her promotional debut after her UFC Argentina clash with Maryna Moroz was cancelled due to her opponent’s injury. The Brazilian kept training hard and jumped in when offered a fight with “Jo Jo” in January.
