[Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] when I was 14 years old my father walked in the room I was a really into WWE professional wrestling and he walks in the room and throws a DVD of the UFC on my bed and he says hey when you’re done watching that fake stuff watch this and then I got to this fight it was Josh Thompson versus Eve Edwards and they were fighting I was watching I was like oh this is a good fight this and that and all of a sudden Edwards jumps in there kicks him right in the head knocks them out tkos from that moment I was like oh my goodness I need to do this my name is Angel Pacheco I’m from start BJJ and I’m here to win a UFC contract I plan on finishing my opponent of making it as ugly as I need to or as beautiful as I need to preferably I catch them clean knock them out cold if not just beat them down until you can continue I think Danny is a great fighter but I’m too determined I will go through hell and back in order to get this contract it doesn’t matter the amount of pressure I will put on him in order to take what I want is going to be too much I don’t think he’s ever been hit quite as hard as I’m gonna hit him I don’t think he’s ever been pressured quite as much as it might pressure him and uh I just don’t see him winning I don’t see it anyway he can beat me [Music] my older brothers wanted to be Fighters they um they were Boxers we come from a boxing family and as my mom was having trouble with the mortgage and they just felt selfish trying to follow and chase a dream that doesn’t guarantee anything and it’s been a struggle for me because I understand them and I’ve been in the same shoes but I just couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t chase it my name is Danny Silva I fight out of bloodline my goal here is just to get to the top I looked up to my mom you know at an early age just because I’ve never met anybody tougher than her I mean she was a single mother had a mortgage to pay and raising three boys from Santa Ana wasn’t easy I want to give her everything and I just kind of been putting up being an engineer but being an engineer wasn’t going to be the right way for me to help my mother I want to help her out when I help myself out and it’s accomplishing my dreams getting that contract if there’s no worries for me to describe it other than satisfaction Angel Pacheco doesn’t have anything new that I haven’t seen in my life there’s nothing that he could do that could break me he’s just another person in my way I’ve sacrificed a lot and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to win my life changes tonight in a very drastic way the non-reality becomes reality foreign I started like nine years ago doing MMA this is the time that I have to show myself in this octagon winning a UFC contract it’s like a dream come true my name is ernesta karatsukita I’m a professional MMA fighter from Lithuania and I am 25 years old I born in Lithuania in the coldness City and I was a swimmer before I started swimming I was five years old because my mom was a swimming coach so I just went to the swimming she’s a very tough woman she wasn’t swimming in Olympics too and sometimes I miss the school sometimes I miss the kindergarten and everything just to you know sacrifice and go to the trainings the goal is to be the best athlete so she knows that I’m really happy that she understands she just comes up and says that this is a dream you have to do everything capable of doing so I’m just very thankful that I have the mom like she’s when I went to in May after the first training I just felt Goosebumps I felt that I am in the right place and everything was just a bomb that had to explode you know and I just started a new era of elasticated Street I just want to be an example for a woman that it doesn’t matter if you choose a sport that it’s not for a woman but you can achieve your goal don’t stop doing what you are doing and it doesn’t matter how long it will take if you’re doing everything right you will be at that place what you’re meant to be everything will be like exactly how it should be I started training about three or four years ago other people have probably had this dream longer but I still feel like I have the same drive as someone that’s been training for 10 years I want to prove in this fight that one day I can be the best in the world and you can start at whatever age you want and that you can accomplish anything you want as long as you’re putting in work my name is Carly judice I’m 24 and I’m fighting out of head kicks MMA I’m from Lafayette Louisiana I played softball my whole life three to until I was like 20 and then that’s when I got into MMA and I started there really just for Fitness purposes because I had quit playing softball and I needed something to do to keep me active and then I fell in love with it and I missed competing so just the ball kept rolling from there and here we are three and a half years later I think I’ve grown so much I try to go to Every practice I can doing everything I need to to learn because I know I am behind in experienced so when I’m in practice I make sure every second counts and that I am catching up I’m taking this fight on 10 days notice I wasn’t expecting the contender series at all mainly because I only have three wins there was no doubt or any hesitation to take this fight we knew I was in shape and we knew I was ready I want to show the world you don’t have to have 10 years of experience all you have to have is hard work dedication and a dream that you’re willing to do anything for I won’t be
