LAS VEGAS – Stephanie Luciano wasn’t sure where her future was headed after her showing at Dana White Contender Series 63.
The Brazilian strawweight didn’t beat her opponent Talita Alencar, but she also didn’t lose to her. The two fought to a draw in one of the more exciting fights of the night. This made Luciano (5-1-1) feel unsure of whether she was going to get a contract with the UFC. Fortunately for her, she was offered a contract, while White passed on Alencar (4-0-1).
“It’s surprising, right,” Luciano said through an interpreter at the DWCS 63 post-fight press conference. “I didn’t know what was going to happen there. I mean, Talita Alencar is a great athlete, and she came to impose her game, and then it was my turn to show her what I’m about, and I think that’s what made a difference.
