“It made me feel really good” - Alyse Anderson thanks ONE for bringing her back to compete on American soil
'Lil' Savage' Alyse Anderson is grateful for another chance to be back on track as she gears up for her second appearance in Denver for ONE Championship.
The American atomweight MMA is slated to clash with a surging contender in Victoria Souza, and she's ready to give the best she can to take the 'W' over the Brazilian.
Completing her homework on Souza, Anderson is extremely motivated to enter the Circle and put on a good show to entertain the crowd inside Denver's Ball Arena. Most of all, she is thankful that ONE gave her another opportunity there.
The 29-year-old conveyed this when interviewed by ONE Championship ahead of the fight week for the September 6 spectacle.
She said:
“It meant a lot to see the promotion get behind me in the United States. It made me feel really good and positive. That’s giving me that much more of a push to give my best and get the best result.”
More importantly, Alyse Anderson is dedicating this fight for her ailing father, who was recently diagnosed with cancer.
North American fans can catch the event live in U.S. primetime free of charge with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription. Limited tickets are still available via Ticketmaster.
