Get To Know One Of The UFC’s New Girls, Rachael Ostovich-Berdon

The Ultimate Fighter 26 features a former Invicta competitor with a professional record of 3-3. It's time to get to know the UFC's Rachael Ostovich-Berdon. As reported on UFC.com, Ostovich-Berdon did not always want to be a mixed martial artist. Even though she is the daughter of professional fighter Bobby Southworth, Ostovich-Berdon had other plans. “I thought I wanted to be a professional cheerleader. The competitive cheerleading that I was in, it was crazy. I feel like it helped me with MMA. (Laughs) But I wanted to be some type of professional athlete, and I cheered my whole life and that was it. I tried out for college and I ended up not making it, and I was devastated because I swore to my mom that I was gonna have a full ride scholarship. But God has his plans and, after that, I started doing MMA.” The 26-year-old Hawaii native revealed to UFC.com that she has always had a warrior spirit. “In Hawaii, we’re warriors and I feel like that fighting spirit was automatically in me. There’s definitely a fighter inside of me and I’ve been a fighter since I was born. I think you can see that in my fights. Even when I have really tough times, I’m always fighting and always trying to win and get out of those tough situations. “I grew up with that same mentality and that’s how it is in Hawaii,” Ostovich continues. “We don’t really talk too much. If you have a problem, we just bang it out. I grew up on the west side, and there were a lot of rowdy kids, but luckily, I just kept the peace with everyone, so I actually never got into a fight outside of the cage.” Rachael Ostovich-Berdon now has a chance at the flyweight title, as she faces off in season 26 of The Ultimate Fighter.
