LAS VEGAS – Sacrifice and changes: Karolina Kowalkiewicz made plenty of them ahead of her bout at UFC Fight Night 207.
In the roughest stretch of her career and with her back potentially up against the wall, Kowalkiewicz (13-7 MMA, 6-7 UFC) proved the sacrifices and changes worth it when Saturday she submitted Felice Herrig (14-10 MMA, 5-5 UFC) in Round 2 of their strawweight bout at the UFC Apex.
“I feel amazing I won this fight,” Kowalkiewicz told MMA Junkie and other reporters teary-eyed at a post-fight news conference. “I’m back. I’m back. It’s great.”
