""I think the first round, on very much both ends of the cage, was a feeling out process. We both kind of agreed to play there a little bit. And then I think I was just kind of a little overzealous with my shots,""
""So I really needed to adjust and trust my footwork, and move in and out.""
""I've traveled a lot for this sport, so I'm willing to travel. My best friend Hailey Cowan and I have traveled all throughout the States for training, and we've been by each other's sides. So I've got a travel buddy for that. I'll go where ever the wind may take me.""
Melissa Croden secured a third-round TKO over Tainara Lisboa in her UFC Vancouver debut, improving her professional record to 7-2. The opening round functioned as a feeling-out period with both fighters cautious and exchanging limited action. Croden acknowledged becoming overzealous with her shots and adjusted by trusting her footwork, moving in and out to find cleaner connections. She nearly finished the fight late in the second frame and completed the stoppage in the third. Croden expressed readiness to take future fights, willingness to travel, and noted a close training partnership and frequent mistaken identity with Hailey Cowan.
