Universally recognized as unquestionably one of the top three women boxers in the world today, juntando Katie Taylor e Claressa Shields, the Puerto Rico-native Serrano, lutando fora de Brooklyn, Nova Iorque, é 1-0-1 in mixed-martial-arts competition. She will face pro-debuting Valentia Garcia, de México, no ícone 7 evento principal.
“It’s an honor to headline iKON 7,” Serrano said. “It is a fast-rising MMA organization that I plan to plant my flag on. My co-manager, Pearl Gonzalez, turned me on to it and so far, I’m loving my dealings with them.
“My first two opponents in MMA were also Mexicans and they were tough. I don’t want it any other way if I’m going to have people take me seriously in this sport. From what I understand, my opponent has striking experience but in MMA, you should never expect a particular style. Most are well rounded and regardless of their primary style, I’m ready for it.”
Serrano has conquered boxing and legitimately rates as one of the greatest female boxers of all-time, as well as a future Hall of Famer, ostentando um 40-1-1(30 KOs) registro profissional. She’s also 6-0 with in Jiu-Jitsu with five submissions.
“I was having a hard time getting good fights in boxing I wanted,” Serrano explained, “so, I asked my trainer/manager Jordânia (Maldonado) started talking about MMA. A year before I debuted in MMA, I shot a movie, ‘Fight Valley’, in which both my sister, Cindy(Serrano), and I co-starred alongside Miesha Tate, Chris Cyborg e Holly Holm. During the filming we talked about helping each other train in our respective disciplines and yeah, it materialized but in way I became an MMA practitioner.
“Training is totally different. I took a year off from boxing just to learn the basics. Hoje, I train everyday regardless of upcoming fights or not. There are a ton of things I still need to learn. I’m pretty much a workaholic and a sore loser, assim, if I’m messing with it, I want it all! I’d love to one day fight for World title (no MMA) and become a champion in both sports at the same time. I have what it takes to do it if anyone does. I do want to switch the narrative as a striker and be known in MMA for my ground game.”
