Inoue on the fight's key moment
“It was my first time in three years, so I’m glad that I was able to win that fight. But at the same time, I wasn’t too happy with my performance. I wasn’t able to show the fans what I can do in the octagon. Next time, I’m looking to showcase what I can do.”
Inoue on Goldy and ring rust
“I think the first reason (it was a hard fight) is obviously Hannah came here to fight, and she had an excellent game plan to try to not let me do what I want to do. But at the same time, it was my first time in three years, so I was a little bit rusty. Everything combines into one, so next time I’ll try to do a better performance.”
Inoue on what she wants next
“Well, I really don’t have anyone in specific that I want to fight. I’m just willing to fight anybody the UFC puts against me. I’m just going to wait for the UFC to (give me a) fight. I’m just going to be training toward that fight to win that fight. In terms of timing, since I have no injuries in this fight, I would like to get back into the octagon as soon as possible.”
