Lipsky is calm about the bouts with her compatriots

UFC fighter Ariani Lipsky has spoken out about her willingness to fight her fellow female fighters.

"For me there is no difference when it comes to fighting, and I am a fighter. But of course, I don't like fighting Brazilian women. I know how hard it is for Brazilians just to be in the UFC, because everything is much harder in Brazil than in other countries like Russia or the United States. I don't like it, but Silva is in the UFC and I'm in the UFC, we're both good athletes and there are so many Brazilian women at my weight that I wouldn't like to fight, but there's a goal and you just have to do your job," said the Brazilian.
