Meet UFC newcomer Yazmin Jauregui, undefeated Entram Gym prospect

Yazmin Jauregui enters the UFC roster with high expectations.

The unbeaten Mexican women’s strawweight prospect already is being projected as a top contender and a future champion by former UFC titleholder Brandon Moreno. Jauregui is one of the biggest personalities and most promising fighters from Entram Gym, Moreno’s former home gym.

Jauregui (8-0) may not be known by the masses in the MMA world just yet, but she promises that will change soon. She’s set to make her UFC debut against Brazil’s Istela Nunes on Aug. 13 at UFC on ESPN 41.

MMA Junkie caught up with the Mexican fighter to get her thoughts on signing with the UFC. You can check out Jauregui’s interview below, as well as a brief scouting report on why Jauregui is one of the most promising Hispanic talents today.
