Defeat Pale? No coincidence, I’ve been practicing that kick for a long time, admits the likeable Brazilian

Tereza Bledá has had an unsuccessful debut in the UFC. The 20-year-old fighter succumbed to a Brazilian prospect five years her senior. Natália Silva admitted after the fight that the way she beat the Czech was definitely no accident. On the contrary.

A sad night for Czech MMA. The former Octagon champion unfortunately lost for the first time in her career and failed to make her debut in the famous UFC organization. In addition to her first loss, she was also terminated for the first time.

Tereza Bledá, however, has nothing to be ashamed of. She is the second youngest fighter in the UFC, only 20 years old, with her entire career ahead of her. She can still improve a lot and that is best done by measuring her strength against the best, which is what the American organization offers.

With the exception of the first round, her opponent Natalya Silva was better in the fight. She defended takedowns well, and she defended a hopeful submission attempt. Then in the third round, she read a takedown attempt perfectly and finished Bleda with a spinning kick.

The sympathetic Brazilian fighter provided one of the most beautiful moments of the night. And was her kick a fluke? It wasn’t. “I’ve been practicing for a long time. My coaches always told me to trust that kick, that it was powerful and that if it landed it could lead to a knockout,” she admitted in an interview with the UFC.

The 25-year-old overpowered Czech rising star also talked about the submission that Pale almost got her on, among other things. She said it was nothing serious: “It may have looked like she had it well caught, but I felt she was in a position where she was getting exhausted. I just checked it out.”

Now Silva is happy with the win and dreams of making all her wishes come true. Despite the quality of her opponents in the UFC, she believes she can find her place among the world’s best. Even though she is small, she says she has a big heart, which allows her to accomplish many things.

She currently has a 2-0 record in the UFC. However, she hasn’t talked about her next fight. Even though it didn’t look like it in the fight, he apparently gave her quite a workout. In fact, in the interview, she primarily asked to rest and hasn’t thought about another challenge for now.
