Hi Maryna,
We’re loving how often we see you in La Michaux! How's life treating you in sunny Florida?
Hi Sarah,
Being in Florida is very wonderful. Every day brings me joy.
How did your journey into MMA begin and what drew you to the sport?
Since my childhood, I've had a very active lifestyle, practicing different kinds of sports. MMA was an unexpected discovery. It's a sport in which you make yourself better every day. Mentally and physically.

Do you remember the moment you got the call from the UFC? What did it feel like?
Getting into the UFC, was like going to the moon, so special. Lots of emotions at once.
What does a typical day of training look like for you, and how do you stay mentally strong throughout it?
I train at American Top Team and I usually have two to three workouts a day, a combination of strength and cardio. In between training, I like to stay active during the day as well.
There are a lot of stereotypes around fighters, especially women in MMA. How do you navigate that energy?
I don't listen to any prejudices! Being a fighter is a lifestyle and it's so cool.
Being a fighter is a lifestyle.. that's well said, I like that. What is your vision for 2021? Are there any opponents you've got your eye on?
In 2021, I want to have three fights. I will take any opponent who challenges me.

That’s the fighter's mentality, I can’t wait for your next fight!
How do you like to unwind outside of training and what brings you joy & helps you reset?
Resting on the beach distracts me the best from training. I really love to relax on the beach with some good music on and of course, as a girl, I love shopping as well.
Describe your perfect summer escape, and what's always in your beach bag?
I like to travel in the summer and the main thing is that there should always be an ocean nearby, sunny weather, good music and La Michaux bikinis of course :) .
Love it, it’s the same for me.
