Undefeated Elle Wagman hopes a win over Celine Haga leads to ONE Championship contract

Interview with Elle Wagman below


Elle Wagman (5-0) discusses her strawweight fight against Celine Haga (13-18) at FAC 16 on Oct. 7. Elle also talks about training at American Top Team the last seven months, planning her wedding with UFC lightweight Grant Dawson and why she feels Haga is the right opponent to prepare her for a big show call up.

“I’m ready for that next level. I don’t feel like I’ve been tested recently. Obviously, there’s a lot of value in developing yourself and making sure you fight at the right level, at the right time. I want to make that jump to ONE FC and those girls are the best in the world.”
