She also talks about her teammate Irene Aldana fighting Amanda Nunes for the belt next month.

Vanessa Demopoulos closes out the program to preview her UFC Vegas 73 fight against Karolina Kowalkiewicz. Vanessa talks about getting the chance to face a veteran like Karolina and her changing gyms which kept her out of action for longer than she wanted.
