After losing her UFC debut, Egger now has reeled off back-to-back victories inside the octagon. She’s trending upward in a 135-pound division that badly needs new blood.
“I hope I can fight as soon as possible, and I’m ready for it,” Egger said in her post-fight interview with Paul Felder. “So give me the next opponent.”
