Gabriella Fernandes took her title dreams up a notch with UFC on ESPN 72 win
LAS VEGAS – Gabriella Fernandes met the media Saturday after her unanimous decision win over Julija Stoliarenko at UFC on ESPN 72.

Afterward, the 31-year-old flyweight said her resume is starting to become one that warrants inclusion in the title conversation. "If everyone believes in me, I've got to believe in myself, right?"
