Ana Julaton has made it no secret that she wants to fight Heather Hardy.

Whether it be in a boxing ring, a Bellator cage, or both, Julaton is ready to throw down with Brooklyn’s Hardy. Both highly-decorated and respected boxers turned mixed martial artists, Julaton vs Hardy is a match that fight fans are heavily anticipating. With Heather Hardy recently teasing an upcoming fight announcement, can Hardy vs Julaton be on the horizon?

“It’s nice that she actually followed in my footsteps. I was the first one to actually do MMA and boxing. I signed a contract to do that,” Julaton said of Hardy. “It’s nice to see someone like her joining along with that.”

Julaton further explained her desire to face Hardy– “In terms of fighting Hardy, you know, it’s something we need to do.” “We originally were asked to fight her for this card. She ducked out,” she continued. “She needs to– she needs to make a statement. I think it would be foolish if we don’t meet in the cage, or in the ring. Because she also has the same contract that I do, where she can do dual sports.”

C’mon Heather, let’s make it happen. Just rise up to the occasion, that’s all I gotta say.

Outside of campaigning for a fight with Hardy, Julaton is vying to hold titles in both MMA and boxing. “First and foremost, I’m a martial artist,” the boxing champion told ESPN. “To be able to travel from the martial arts and then boxing, and coming right back into MMA, I’ve feel like I’ve gotten to a full circle. So, the time is now. Especially for women fighters. There’s a huge rise with Women’s MMA in the United States.”

Born in San Francisco, California, Julaton is of Filipino-descent. “It’s nice to see the connection between Filipinos abroad and and people in the Phillipines,” said Ana. “There’s a lot of pride that we share amongst each other and it’s nice to be able to have a counterpart like Manny Pacquiao, where he’s able to pave a way for fighters like myself.”
