LIVERPOOL, England – Three years ago, Gina Mazany was doing graphic design for a Facebook gaming company when she packed up her Ford Focus, sold all her (expletive) and drove down to Las Vegas. This week, Mazany (5-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) hopped on a plane to Liverpool, England, where she’ll meet Lina Lansberg (7-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) in a bantamweight bout at Echo Arena. It will be the third fight of an octagon run that started with a short-notice debut against Olympic medalist and former UFC title challenger Sara McMann. It’s been a “crazy rollercoaster ride” for Mazany en route to UFC Fight Night 130. But it’s gotten her right where she wants to be.
