Chiasson on the fight’s key moment

“I knew she’d come forward and pressure me out of the gate like that. It was a last-minute fight and she didn’t really have time to game plan. Neither did I, to be fair, but I was ready for anything. I got the call from my coach on Monday after one of my sessions (that Nicco Montano was out). I said it’s fine – whoever they find is good with me. I was calm about it because I prepared so well.”

Chiasson on rebounding from her first pro loss

“It feels really good to get back into the win column. I learned a lot from my last fight and I’m just happy I could go out there and showcase everything I’ve been working on.”

Chiasson on what she wants next

“I’d still love to run it back with Nicco once she is all recovered. She’s a former champ and ranked, so I’d love that. Maybe some time in May if it works out for everyone.”
