On Saturday April 27, Norway’s Ivana Petrovic will return to the biggest stages.
At UFC Vegas 91 she will take on seasoned veteran Liang Na and intends to get her first win in the UFC. Petrovic lost her UFC debut back in July 2023, but feels like she’s done everything to get her hand raised come Saturday.
“It’s been a grueling fight camp, but I’m well prepared for this bout, both physically and mentally,” Petrovic tells Frontkick.
The best women’s division in the world
The UFC flyweight division has been blooming over the past few years, with new exciting fighters like Manon Fiorot, Erin Blanchfield and Alexa Grasso. The Norwegian former Ares FC champion, who signed with the UFC with a 6-0 record, feels like she has what it takes to be among the top ranked fighters in the best women’s division on the planet.
“I want to show everybody that I belong with the best in the world,” Petrovic says.
