Former UFC women’s strawweight Angela Magana made her first mixed martial arts performance since being cut from the UFC’s roster earlier today. Following the tough defeat, Angela Magana has now come forward with a statement.
Angela Magana began her journey within the UFC by competing on The Ultimate Fighter 20. While Magana did not come out on top during the season, the fighter still managed to land a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
Magana would then go 0-3 inside the octagon, before the UFC elected to cut the fighter from the promotion’s roster. Overall, Magana was on a five fight losing streak after being dropped by the UFC.
The mixed martial artist most recently made her debut performance under Rizin Fighting Federation early Sunday morning at Rizin FF 12 in Nagoya, Japan. Magana ultimately suffered a second round submission loss to opponent Kanako Murata, putting the fighter on a six fight losing streak.
Taking to Twitter, Angela Magana has now come forward with a few words on the matter. Check it out below.
“Lost the fight…she made me choke myself out. Makes me laugh sitting here when I say it like that but I couldn’t get my arm out. Good job Murata! Good news Japan loves me and wants #TheQueen back. #YourMajesty #QueenOfRizin #Japan #Rizin2018 #MMA #JapanMMA”

“Losses happen people. Step in there and let’s see your result I’m lucky to be alive and walking, let alone fighting, that in itself makes me ecstatic. Nothing takes my happiness.
Ps- Great pic, Eye is hot!”
