I've been watching Liana for a long time. She fights bravely in the rack, fights well in the parterre, and her crowning move is the armbar. She has four fights in the best league in the world. There was a win. It's a good opportunity for me. I'll be happy to share the cage with her. I'm constantly improving my skills. I think the fight will show everything. I think I excel in boxing, but the more important thing is the strategic plan for the fight.

After a shaky start, she hit a 5-match winning streak that led to her winning the FNG Women's Bantamweight Championship against Marina Mokhnatkina. She joined the Ultimate Fighting Championship and debuted in September 2019 at UFC 242. She lost her debut fight to Sarah Moras, and her career went south from there. The teacher who graduated from Moscow State Pedagogical University moved down to the Flyweight division without much success to stem the tide of defeats. In November 2021, she was released from the UFC.
