Julie Kedzie will make her UFC debut on Saturday against Germaine de Randamie.

Looking back, my journey in MMA has been me tripping every two feet but I wouldn't trade places with Ronda Rousey. I wouldn't trade places with Meisha Tate or any of these people who are the famous ones. I like tripping over my own feet. It's made me happy and it's made it more worth it. You can look at the way someone else achieved it, but it's not their way, it's your way. It's your own journey. And mine, on Saturday, will take me down a road that is both new and familiar. We might even take Washington's 405 highway to get to the show.
