Briana Sanchez wants to fight in the UFC one day, but before that, she must accomplish her goal at the IMMAF Youth World Championships in Abu Dhabi.
The first time Briana Sanchez saw Ronda Rousey , she knew that competing in the UFC was her dream. Sanchez wants to win a gold medal at the Youth World MMA Junior Championship, similar to what Rousey did when she won the 2004 World Judo Junior Championships . But while chasing her goal, she ran into a hurdle. Sanchez needed money.
If they have big dreams, as long as I see them putting in the work, I will always push to help make those dreams come true in whatever they decide to do.

She works with karate, MMA, jiu-jitsu, and wrestling instructors, while working on her conditioning daily.
