RIO DE JANEIRO – After losing her second straight UFC fight, women’s strawweight Nina Ansaroff considered quitting the sport to have a child. Heading into her 30s, she figured it was as good a time as any to start a family with her partner, UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes. “I thought, maybe this isn’t going to go right for me,” said Ansaroff (8-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC), who next faces Randa Markos (8-5 MMA, 4-4 UFC) at UFC on FOX 30, which takes place July 28 at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. But she gave it one more try, and a submission win over Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger convinced her to keep moving foward. Then with a win over Angela Hill, she was on the cusp of the top-10. Quitting seemed foolish.
