UFC strawweight Alex Chambers got beat up for two rounds, then pulled off a stunning late submission win over Kailin Curran in the third.<\/p>\n

Chambers talked to Submission Radio<\/a> after the fight and mentioned why she went out in that third and turned things up.<\/p>\n

“It’s always relief after a fight. It’s obviously great to have won. It was a tough fight. My energy was a little bit low today and I really felt it from the first round.The difference here was an early morning start. Kailin really pushed me. I knew she was a really good fighter and was never going to back down.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“My coach said to me I have to win the third round, come back and fight hard. I guess he scared me a little bit, he said ‘If you lose this, that’s it. You’re out of the UFC.’ I didn’t like the sound of that.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I knew I had to give it all I had. I took the chance to breathe a little bit through it, in case she escaped and I needed to fight on. She did escape the first submission attempt, but I saw the opportunity for the armbar and I took it.”<\/em><\/p>\n
