Cita: “Em vaig formar molt dur per a aquesta lluita. Vaig fer molts sacrificis per arribar aquí i preparar-me per a una lluita dura [Alessio] Connexió. Amb la meva preparació, Vaig poder obtenir un bon resultat ràpidament i estic content per això. Em vaig fer mal la mà una mica a la seqüència final, potser vaig donar un cop de puny a la catifa, però espero tornar a la gàbia el més aviat possible per continuar defensant el meu cinturó”.

Cita: "Només anava allà fora per llançar bombes i guardar-lo ràpidament i això és exactament el que va passar. Això és el que faig habitualment. El camp d'entrenament va ser genial, Vaig poder preparar-me per al meu rival i va sortir bé. He viscut una gran experiència aquí a Itàlia, ha estat un viatge i el vaig tractar com una aventura. Era la primera vegada que lluitava fora del país, així que tot va ser un ajust i vaig sortir nou dies abans per aclimatar-me.. Vull un altre rival dur. Luka [Jelcic] era un noi dur, ell no estava gens deformat. Vull un altre home superior, per això estic aquí: per lluitar contra els millors i això és el que he estat fent des que vaig arribar aquí a Bellator ".

Cita: “Estava molt emocionat pel meu debut a Bellator i per ser la primera dona colombiana a la promoció. He estat entrenant increïblement dur, I felt that I was very well prepared for this fight. I just wanted to show the world how tough I am and I think I did that aquesta nit. I spent half of my camp in Guadalajara with Alexa Grasso and Team Grasso there, and then I also went up to work with Roufusport Academy in Milwaukee to prepare for the fight. Both camps were amazing for me, and I learned a great deal, I just want to keep learning and competing. I am prepared for whatever is next. I look forward to big challenges in Bellator.”

Cita: “Speed is definitely my advantage every time I get in the ring, and it was no different aquesta nit. Primer i abans que res, I’d like to give all the glory to God, because through him, all things are possible. I’d like to thank my opponent for taking this fight. It’s an honor to come here and fight in front of the Italian people. This is an incredible country with beautiful people, beautiful food, beautiful wine, great history. This is a fighting country. I think I might have some Italian in my DNA because every time I come here my blood boils and I feel like I’m ready to spar, Estic llest per lluitar. To anyone who wants it: come on, take a number and stand in line. You have seen my highlight reel, if you want to be part of it – Et prometo que, I can make you famous.”

Cita: “I’ve got to watch the replay again. I thought Filip did a really good job and I was really excited to be fighting somebody of his caliber. Going into the fight, I thought he was the toughest guy Bellator has given me. When we were both with my last promotion, we were both top three the entire time I was there. I knew he was going to be a tough opponent, that’s why there was no trash talk from either one of us, I think we were both ready for a great fight and we delivered. I honestly was pretty frustrated with my performance and after the fight I told Jimmy (Herrero) that I thought he had won. Now I’m back here in the locker room and everyone is telling me that I’m crazy for that take. I’d love to fight him again and finish him off. Maybe for a world championship. That’d be nice. But for now, I’m excited to go enjoy my vacation.”
John Wayne Parr (98-32) derrotat Piergiulio Paolucci (24-6-1) mitjançant TKO a 2:32 de la tercera ronda

Cita: “I’m very excited coming off of this performance. I thought my opponent was a bit awkward. I wanted to give him respect because I knew he had heavy hands. But once I felt that I could win, I started walking forward more and I threw a couple spinning back kicks just for fun, just to entertain. I had the one spinning heel kick that landed and thought that was pretty cool. I was pretty excited about that. I was just happy to get the stoppage really, because nobody wants to win by points. I’m inching closer to 100 victories and I’d love to hit that milestone here in such a major promotion like Bellator. Especially at my age of 41, being able to fight on the big stage is so surreal. I can’t believe that I’m still here competing in this sport that I love, and more than just competing, I’m being successful. I’ve got to thank Scott Coker, everyone at Bellator and Spike, and everyone that follows the sport for giving me the opportunity to do what I do. I’m really scared to be 41 and know that one day I’m going to have to retire, però en aquest moment, I’m having too much fun to stop.”
