“Just to make clear!!! I didn’t fight pregnant!!!” wrote Kunitskaya. “In the left sight I am with my first son 2 months pregnant, there is right side 2nd month pregnant. It’s just how my body reacts. All you who keeps txting me, mind your own business.”

Yana was not happy with this speculation given that the NAC requires a female fighter to prove that she is not pregnant before she steps into an octagon. Yana and her team have revealed that she did take a pregnancy test before fighting Irene Aldana at UFC 264.
