Emerging strawweight prospect Iasmin Lucindo has set her sights on a significant challenge in her division. Fresh off her victory against fellow Brazilian Polyana Viana at UFC on ESPN 51. Lucindo is eager to step up her competition level and face former UFC title challenger Karolina Kowalkiewicz.
The 21-year-old fighter is excited about the prospect of facing Kowalkiewicz. Even though she admits that she’s a fan of the Polish fighter and is fully aware of the difficulty of the task at hand. Lucindo believes that such a matchup would pit the “new generation vs the veteran.” A theme she finds appealing, especially after watching “The Ultimate Fighter.”
Lucindo is riding a two-fight winning streak since her UFC debut, which she lost on short notice in August 2022. Her recent win against Viana showcased her potential and improvement. She’s now ready to face a more experienced opponent to truly gauge her skills.
While Lucindo believes she’s physically prepared for the challenge that Kowalkiewicz presents. She acknowledges that the mental aspect of the fight will be just as tough. Challenging herself against a veteran like Kowalkiewicz is not only a test of her fighting style but also a challenge to her mental and psychological readiness.
The prospect envisions a fight that would primarily involve striking and standup skills making it an exciting matchup for fans who appreciate technical striking battles. More importantly, facing Kowalkiewicz would provide Lucindo with the opportunity to gain valuable experience from a seasoned fighter.
Lucindo’s eagerness to face Kowalkiewicz is matched by her preference for a home-soil advantage. She hopes to fight at the upcoming UFC Fight Night event in Sao Paulo on November 4. The thought of competing in front of a Brazilian crowd is enticing for Lucindo views it as a wonderful opportunity.
The young fighter’s confidence is evident as she expresses her readiness for the challenge stating that she emerged from her recent fight at 100 percent. She is prepared to step up if UFC President Dana White grants her the matchup against Kowalkiewicz.
Lucindo’s aspiration to test herself against the best in the division and her willingness to face a tough veteran like Kowalkiewicz. This showcases her determination and desire for growth. While the matchup is yet to be confirmed. Lucindo’s enthusiasm and dedication to the sport are evident and fans will be eagerly anticipating any updates on a potential showdown between these two fighters.
