Regina
\nTarin<\/a> feels divine intervention led her to pursue a
\nprofessional mixed martial arts career.<\/p>\n

Tarin (8-0) tried professional boxing and even considered a
\npro-wrestling career before an opportunity in the
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> presented itself. She is
\nscheduled to fight J.J. Aldrich<\/a>
\n(15-7) at
\nNoche UFC 4<\/a> on Sept. 12 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale,
\nArizona, in her second Octagon appearance.<\/p>\n

Regina Tarin explains how WWE tryouts and a three-day UFC offer
\nchanged her career<\/h2>\n

Tarin was scheduled to fight on
\nDana White\u2019s Contender Series<\/a> last year. However, the bout was
\ncanceled and she then got a call from the WWE soon after. Tarin
\nparticipated in their tryouts this past January, and while she was
\nalmost set on a WWE career, she asked God if she had chosen the
\nright career path.<\/p>\n

The undefeated Mexican then got a call from the UFC to make a debut
\non three days\u2019 notice. That was the moment that Tarin knew she was
\ndestined for MMA. \u201cKill Bill\u201d defeated Ernesta
\nKareckaite<\/a> via unanimous decision in her UFC debut this past
\nFebruary.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a Contender Series fight that got canceled and WWE called
\nme,\u201d Tarin told Full Send MMA. \u201cI thought, \u2018OK, maybe [MMA] is not
\nmy sport; I can try WWE.\u2019 But spoke to God and said, \u2018Please tell
\nme if I chose the correct sport.\u2019 Then UFC called me on three days\u2019
\nnotice. That\u2019s the exact moment when I thought MMA is for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tarin has finished six of her eight pro wins so far. The
\n21-year-old is a -250 favorite going into her bout against Aldrich,
\nwho is on a two-fight winning streak.<\/p>\n
