'F*** you, b***h': Ukrainian UFC fighter has pointed message for Vladimir Putin and his Russian regime for invading her country

A Ukrainian UFC fighter who has family facing down tanks and missiles amid Russia's invasion of her home country gave Vladimir Putin a pointed piece of her mind in an interview with TMZ Sports.

"F*** you, bitch," Maryna Moroz said when asked what she'd like to say to the Russian president and his regime. "I love my country. Don't touch Ukraine."

What are the details?

Moroz, 30, is scheduled to fight Mariya Agapova — an MMA fighter from Kazakhstan — Saturday night at UFC 272, TMZ Sports said.

While the event is to take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, understandably much of Moroz's heart and mind is focused on what's happening in her home country.

"It's hard time for Ukraine," she said, adding, "I want to support my country, my president, whole army in Ukraine, and I want to say we don't want war. ... I worry about my family right now in Ukraine."

Moroz was born in Vilnohirsk, Ukraine, in September 1991, which TMZ Sports said is about the same time Ukraine gained its independence amid the collapse of the Soviet Union.

And with Ukraine's autonomy now threatened, Moroz is deeply concerned.

"Many people die right now," she said, lamenting the increasingly "dangerous" situation in Ukraine.

In fact, she said her father has been making homemade grenades for protection and to fight back against advancing Russian forces.

Moroz added to TMZ Sports that she tries to call home "every couple of hours" but that it's difficult to stay in touch.

What this fight means to her

Despite the hardships in Ukraine, Moroz also has a job to do Saturday — and that's to beat Agapova.

In a way, she knows she'll be fighting for her country.

"I want to show Ukraine girl strong" and that we "don't stand back." She added that she'll be "fighting" to "show that Ukraine people [are] strong, and my flag will be in [the] Octagon."
