“Rowdy” Bec Rawlings Feeling Better Than Ever Ahead Of Her UFC Debut At Flyweight

Australia’s Bec Rawlings is set to co-headline Saturday night’s UFC Fight Night 121 inside the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. The fighter was initially set to take on Joanne Claderwood, however the fighter has since been removed from the event. In her place, Rawlings will now be going toe-to-toe with Jessica-Rose Clark. The fight will be Rawlings debut in the new UFC flyweight division, as the competitor looks to make yet another victory in her native country.

Speaking to MMA Junkie, Rawlings explained that she feels great leading up to her next octagon performance.

“Last week, I felt awesome. I had so much energy. I was like, ‘This doesn’t feel right. Something feels wrong.’ My coach was like, ‘Yeah, you’re in good shape, and you’re healthy.’ It’s an amazing feeling that I can just focus on open workouts. I can focus on the media and my fight, and not have to worry about a stupid weight cut.”

The fighter then offered her thoughts on fighting in her native country once again.

“The energy from the Australian crowd, it just feels like home. It just gives you a different feeling and makes you want to work even harder out there.”
