Regina
Tarin is not to be judged by her baby face. 

Ernesta
Kareckaite was originally scheduled to face Sofia
Montenegro in a flyweight bout at
UFC Mexico. However, Montenegro pulled out due to undisclosed
reasons and was replaced by Mexico’s Tarin on three days’ notice.
“Kill Bill” made her UFC debut against Kareckaite in a 130-pound
catchweight bout. A sizeable underdog going into the fight, Tarin
outstruck her opponent to earn a unanimous decision
victory.

The 21-year-old Tarin is now the second youngest fighter on the
current UFC roster. Tarin warns her future opponents not to judge
her by her looks. While Tarin knows she looks like a little girl at
21, she says her Octagon persona, “Kill Bill,” is a whole different
person.

Another Person in the Octagon

“I know I look like a little girl,” said in a post-fight interview.
“I am a girl, I’m 21, but I’m ready. I’m training all the day. So
my face is not me. Regina is here, but ‘Kill Bill’ is in the
Octagon. It’s really another person. So I’m ready for all the
opponents, just call me and I’m ready.”

Tarin (8-0) originally earned the nickname “Kill Bill” after being
underestimated by her early opponents. Tarin is now undefeated in
eight pro fights with six finishes. Tarin also went for the WWE
tryouts last month, but later clarified that she would continue
pursuing a career in MMA.
