Ariane Lipski nickname: How did the Brazilian flyweight come to be known as 'Queen of Violence?'

Ariane Lipski is set to take on Casey O'Neill on the preliminary card of this weekend's UFC 296 PPV event. Lipski has gone 3-1 across her last four fights, and will hope to live up to her nickname against O'Neill to continue her momentum.

Lipski's nickname is the 'Queen of Violence', which she stated was earned through her early MMA fights in the Polish MMA promotion, Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki (KSW).

In an interview with Danny Segura of MMA Fighting, Lipski explained the origin of her nickname, stating:

"It's from the Polish fans. They created the nickname. At first everyone thought [the nickname] was too much, like, 'Oh my god, look at me, I'm not the queen of violence!' But wait, yeah I am because it's exactly what she gives when she enters the cage. Lots of blood, very aggressive."
