If she finally decide to join UFC, Desire go dey in the company of many elite Nigerian athletes. Former champions like Kamaru Usman and Israel Adesanya dey there. Other Naija fighters like Sodiq Yusuff, Chidi Njokuani and Kennedy Nzechukwu also dey there.
But if you check all dis people well you go see am say none of dem be woman. So e no go bad if Desire Oparanozie become the first Naija woman to fight and maybe win belt for UFC. The problem be say, statistically, fighters wey leave other professional sports like American football etc, no dey too do well when dem join UFC. Maybe na our Naija sister go break the record.
