Cheyanne Buys has no hesitation fighting on the same card as her husband, JP Buys, despite the disastrous results of their first attempt.

Buys (5-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who returns to action on Saturday against Gloria de Paula (5-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at UFC on ESPN 28, fell short of octagon history in March when she and her husband both lost on a night where they were trying to become the first married couple in UFC history to win on the same card.

It didn’t go that way, though. And in fact, both suffered convincing losses. It was not what they had planned, but Buys said it hasn’t deterred her. She’s down to give it another shot, and even agreed to do as much on this weekend’s ESPN-televised card at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, but JP was not healthy enough to compete.

“They were like, ‘Hey, do you guys want to fight again on the same night?’” Buys told MMA Junkie and other reporters during Thursday’s UFC on ESPN 28 media day. “We literally looked at each other and we were like, ‘Hell yeah, let’s do it again.’ It was the worst night of our lives, but I felt like we got a redo and we got a second chance. I have no problem fighting every time together. It sucks. The world was against us. It was probably one of the worst nights of my life.”
