Maryna Moroz had a good day at work as she scored an impressive victory at UFC 272. The 30-year-old went up against Mariya Agapova in the prelims of the event and scored a submission win in the second round of the fight.

After the bout, Moroz did her post-fight interview with Joe Rogan where she talked about the on-going Russia-Ukraine conflict. Hailing from Ukraine herself, 'The Iron Lady' talked about the hardships she and her family were facing and teared up while doing so.

"If you know, my country have war right now and my family in Ukraine. I have hard week, I worry, I'm crying... Thank you for everyone for message me, support me because this week was hard for me. I want to cry because of this war, my country," said Moroz.

Moroz has fought nine times in the UFC and has walked away with a victory in six of them. 'The Iron Lady' currently has an MMA record of 11-3.
