Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) star Rachael Ostovich feels grateful and excited to be back in the ring after Domestic Violence.

The 28-years-old martial arts fighter shared she's "grateful" to be back on MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) after two months of recovery. A few months back the Invicta fighter tackled a domestic violence incident that nearly ended her MMA career.

Back on November 27, 2018, the MMA star was a victim of domestic violence from her husband Arnold Berdon during an argument at their residence at Hawaii.

Check out the exclusive voice clip of Rachael getting assaulted by her husband from the incident.

The incident marked a huge negative impact on the young fighter's career. She had to hold her career and games for physical recovery. However, Raechel is back after her long career hold and says that "she is excited and overwhelmed" for her upcoming match with Paige VanZant.

In an interview before their fight premiere, she was asked about her come back where the fighter replies saying:

"I feel so grateful to be here.  There was a point I wouldn't be up here. Being here and being able to fight is something is a big thing for me and anticipation of many."

"Paige well she is an amazing person and she has been a very supportive person I love that. In fact all of us have to be like her."

Impressively, Rachael who recently recovered from her severe facial injury played pretty good and got the best out of her opponent. Hope in the near future she gets in an even better shape helping her regain the sharpness she carried in her career prior to the incident.
