Ashley Yoder faces Miranda Granger in her next fight and decided to cut weight and relax a bit too
Ashley ‘Spider Monkey’ Yoder has a tough battle ahead of her at UFC Fight Night 183. The 33-year-old takes on Miranda Granger, who is 7-1 in her MMA career, and is looking to impress.
Granger had sent out a warning ahead of her latest fight. Danger Granger had taken the last two fights on short notice but now she had a proper training camp and was looking forward to the battle.
Yoder, for her part, is coming off two consecutive losses. The 33-year-old currently has a record of seven wins and six losses and her last battle was at UFC 252.
The Spider Monkey would be keen on picking up a win, but she knows how to make the best use of her time.
Cutting weight is one of the tougher parts ahead of an MMA fight, and Yoder was pictured in one of the portable saunas.
However, the American decided to play her PlayStation and even shared how much she enjoyed played Call of Duty:
“Playing a little #CallofDuty and let’s just say.. it’s #lit”
Yoder would be looking to get into battle mode on Saturday against Granger, and she could use some of the tactics from the Call of Duty game and get the better of her rival.
Yoder does need a win after back-to-back losses and she seems mentally prepared for the battle. The 33-year-old also posted another update with a motivational quote, and it will be interesting to see how she does.
Yoder has gone the distance in her last seven MMA fights. However, she has been on the losing end in five of them.
The Spider Monkey has never been knocked out or submitted in her career too, which highlights her mental and physical toughness.
She might come into this clash on the back of a couple of losses, but no one should take Yoder lightly.
