UFC strawweight Nina Ansaroff pulled off arguably the biggest victory of her career earlier this month with a unanimous-decision victory over former Invicta FC champion Angela Hill at UFC Fight Night 120.

And with it, things are on the up-and-up for Ansaroff (8-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC).

After a two-fight losing streak to open her UFC career, the 31-year-old Ansaroff now has back-to-back wins, both coming in 2017. She’s got her mojo back, you might say, and she’s thinking seriously about her future. But those thoughts aren’t just about fighting.

Does she aspire to be a UFC champion? Yes, she does. But also …

“I do want a family, and that’s something that I would have to take time off for,” Ansaroff recently told MMAjunkie Radio following her win earlier this month. “If you’re going to tell me that I’m not going to fight in a year, I would use that year to have a child. But if you tell me we’re going to get this going, give (me) three fights in the next year? Let’s do the thing. I’m not picking one or the other at this time. I’m going to go with what it is.”

Ansaroff, who is in a relationship with UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes, isn’t ready to make a definite decision on what’s next. She feels like she still has plenty of years fighting left in her. And if the opportunity presents itself to remain active and make a run at the title, Ansaroff will go that route.

That’s the tricky part, though. Some clarity on what the UFC has planned for her in 2018 would help her make a decision.

“It’s not this or that. It is, but it’s not. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t,” Ansaroff said. “But in our situation it takes planning. It’s not like a normal relationship. You know how this works these days. So I need to know when I’m fighting next and when I’m not.”
