Mixed martial artist Bec Rawlings has put on an illustrious career within the sport. Having made her way onto the roster of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Rawlings has faced off against some of the toughest and most talented fighters available.
The Australian native most recently faced off against Ashlee Evans-Smith at UFC 223. The highly anticipated event took place inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
While Rawlings put on an intense show for the Brooklyn crowd, the judges’ decision ultimately did not go her way. Rawlings suffered a unanimous decision loss to her opponent.
Taking to Instagram, the mixed martial arts phenom has now provided a strong message for her dedicated army of fight fans. Check it out below:
“Well it is what it is.. i felt the best I’ve ever felt our there, calm, composed & relaxed. I definitely see where i should have had more output but didn’t feel i needed to because i was catching & blocking a majority of what Ashlee threw. I’m happy i was able to showcase I’ve evolved & am now using more weapons.
“I’ve only been working with my coach John Bastable @unitedfightteam.aus for 4 months & i already feel like a completely different fighter, sucks that the judges didn’t give it to me but I’m happy i stuck to my game plan.
“Hopefully the @ufc sees I’ve grown as a fighter & appreciates i always come to fight. I’m healthy & ready to go again so my future with the UFC is in their hands & im grateful for being able to do what i love on the world stage, thank you Ashlee for the fight & sorry i didn’t realise you were trying to touch gloves lol!!”
