Mackenzie over here.

How's fight week going so far for you as champion?

Fight week has been amazing.

It's definitely a little bit different.

Doing the face-offs with the belt in my hand, I'm kind of like, how do I shake her hand?

But yeah, I mean, it's been, besides like all the interviews, that hasn't changed too much.

But just getting used to having the belt over my shoulder most of the time during fight week.

But it's been fun.

Yeah, and I saw you had that face-off with her yesterday, and we had the chance to speak with her a little while ago.

She was in here.

But I guess what was your read?

Was there anything that you could take away from that moment, you know, us facing off with her for the first time?

No, I mean, just – I mean, that was the first time I've ever met her, so I've never even seen her in person.

But, yeah, I mean, I think she looks happy.

She looks confident.

And I think we both look like we were there to be – to throw down.

Yeah, it's been kind of an interesting little build-up.

She was in here, like I said earlier, and she seems to think that you don't like her.

And I don't know, do you not like her?

Is that true?

I don't like her or dislike her.

I don't know her.

So, but I mean, yeah, I think it's really cool how she has the most, is tied with the most finishes.

I mean, there's a lot of stuff I'm learning about her this week.

not because I have anything against her.

I think she definitely maybe had her eyes more on me than I did on her, but just because she was in the 125 division, she wasn't even in our division,

and then she came down, and then I was just focused on me and Wei Li at the time and ahead of me, not really who's fighting behind me.

So I never really paid attention, but not that I don't like her or do like her or anything like that.

I don't know her, but I really respect her journey in the UFC.

She was on the Ultimate Fighter, and I was able to take part in the Ultimate Fighter with Team Bisping in DC.

So what the girls and the guys go through, I give a lot of respect to it.

And you can see how – I don't know if she won, but I think she won.

But to get up here and be fighting for the title shot is nice.

But I think she's the one who doesn't like me.

She actually did confirm that in her interview earlier.

Yeah.

Now that you've had time – because there was that little period of time, right, where it seemed a little uncertain who your first challenger was going to be.

We didn't really know what was going on with Wei Li.

Now that she is in front of you, you feel like she's a worthy title challenger level opponent for you now that you've studied her?

Well, when they had mentioned maybe the winner of Amanda Lemos and Jillian would be my next title fight.

So I think Amanda, because I had a loss to her, and then Jillian, I know she was on a four-fight win streak.

So, I mean, for the strawweight division, you guys know how it is

if you have like a good like two two back-to-back wins even three you can cut

that line pretty easily you know and um her having four four straight wins

and now five straight wins you know i was like yeah this makes sense

but definitely i was happy especially her being a grappler um

i think that's a good matchup yeah i think that's what's

exciting a lot of people about this fight right is

that she's known for her jiu-jitsu and you obviously are too um i'm sure

if i asked you the question of who had the better grappling you would say you but

if you're at like a 10 what would you give her

like numbers you know on a scale of one to 10 um for mma i mean like what i think eight

nine close but you feel pretty confident

if the fight hits the mat there'll be a pretty clear discrepancy about who's better in

that area um i mean no

because i i mean it's five minutes you know each round

is only five minutes I mean five minutes isn't a lot of time to work especially

when she's good and she knows what she's doing I don't know what belt she is

but if she's a black belt well I mean there's other girls

that are black belts to like Vian and stuff like that

but so she's someone who's aggressive and goes forward

and she looks for the attack you know she I think

she's gonna try to progress in the in the fight she's not gonna just get a takedown

and and just stay safe I think she'll try to catch her back

and she's not someone who I want to fall in a bad position with.

So, I mean, if she knows how to stay safe

and I know how to stay safe and we both know how to attack and, you know, we only have two minutes left because it took two and a half minutes just to get to the ground, you know, because they're still punching and cage and all this,

you know, I mean, it's an MMA fight, you know, I don't think people could see that much, especially when I've seen some of her submissions now with the UFC posting this week,

like armbar, she attacks from the bottom, she attacks from the top.

So, I mean, an armbar is an armbar, but I mean, you still have titles and you still have, you know, the accolades that the person brings to the fight.

And she has been submitted.

She was armbar.

I think she, I know some of her fights in jujitsu, she got leg locked, you know,

so there are definitely, definitely weaknesses or holes there, you know, I haven't been submitted or things like that.

I mean, so I don't think in this fight, you'll see like, oh wow, I'm doing something totally crazy that she doesn't do.

But I do have some tricks up my sleeve.

Thank you, good luck.

Mackenzie right here.

Five years ago, you did an interview with us and you said

that you felt women had to do more work to gain the respect in MMA compared to the men.

Now that you have that belt in front of you, do you feel like you've finally gotten the respect maybe from the fans that watch MMA?

No, they're still the same.

I mean, it's still the whole like bathroom breaks and you know what I mean?

It's just, I mean, what they want is like trash talkers, you know?

And the woman, I think most of the woman, it's like we kind of bring the more, I don't know, elegant side or chic or, you know what I mean?

That part to MMA, although we can, I think that's cool that we can like turn it on and turn it off, you know, and we can be like, humil...

I've come from martial arts, so since I'm three, you win and you can lose in the same tournament, in a jiu-jitsu tournament on the same day.

So a win and a loss doesn't make you better than someone else or things like that.

It's the consistency over the whole year that makes you the number one in the world, not if you just won on one day.

The fans, they're crazy.

Of course, I think women, we're starting to bring more and more exciting fights just because of the level.

It's getting better and better.

but I mean what they really want is trash talking like the Ronda Rousey's

and the rivalries and things like that and you see

that even with the guys if the guys are like more humble

or more quieter then you know the fans are kind of talking

but at the same time there are fans you know so

if they hate it if they like it that's what we need.

You know, we fight for the fans.

100

And, but yeah, I think if we can keep showing exciting fights, you see like Rose Namajunas, you know, knocking out Wei Li and all these crazy things,

101

that's where we keep getting the respect that we want.

102

So we just got to train hard and try to have good matches.

103

Did those comments, like you said, like fans saying, like, oh, bathroom break when the women's fights, did that ever bother you in your career

104

or did you just kind of push that off to the side and so like they don't know what they're talking about?

105

I don't know that's I mean yeah that's like not

106

that they don't know what they're talking about I mean it's still like a I don't know like a taste

107

or it's their opinion but I mean it definitely bothers me more

108

when they say like I don't know that I'm gonna get beat up

109

or things like that or that they don't see my actual technique

110

but if they say they know the fight's not exciting or something like that I'm not too

111

I'm not too worried about it.

112

Hi, over here.

113

To your left, there you go.

114

Obviously, coming into the UFC was such a storied jiu-jitsu resume, right?

115

Did winning the title finally allow you to separate Mackenzie Turner, the jiu-jitsu champion, from the MMA fighter?

116

Yeah, for sure.

117

I mean, definitely me winning.

118

That was like one of the biggest representatives, representations, and I don't know, kind of give back that I could do for my sport,

119

my martial art for Jiu-Jitsu in my community.

120

But that was just, it's really good to be able to solidify myself as an MMA fighter because, I mean, I feel like I won the fight, my title, mostly with my striking.

121

Obviously, my Jiu-Jitsu is what makes people scared, and that gives me such a good hand in the fight.

122

You know, people kind of back off on how they fight me, and they fight differently.

123

So that obviously is a big reason of what got me here.

124

but I mean just feeling comfortable with the striking

125

and being able to adapt with whatever they throw at me

126

so I mean I became a champion in a completely different sport now

127

so um I definitely represent jiu-jitsu but I think that's separated now

128

and I'm a champion in MMA yeah and taking on someone

129

that likes to do like she aims to go to the ground as well does

130

that make the fight a little more exciting for you

131

and do you think maybe look you want to go to the ground with me great

132

but I'm to show you there's levels to this too oh yeah for sure i mean not

133

that yeah like levels to this

134

but i mean it's just i don't i don't know

135

if she's fought someone who like doesn't want to go to the ground with her you know um

136

so i mean we're gonna be definitely engaging that's why i think this fight is gonna be

137

so exciting because i think there will be scrambles

138

and there will be um you know grappling exchanges

139

and i'm super excited about that because it kind of this whole camp i trained

140

so much my jiu-jitsu and it was just really comforting to be back kind of

141

to if I was going to go fight at the World Championships, you know, like I used to 15 years ago.

142

So I think it will be fun, and yeah, it will be a good fight.

143

All right, last one for me.

144

Now that you're champion, when you became champion, when you won the title, right, did you look back at your journey and maybe go, you know, I've had to adapt, I've had to grow, I've had to change things here and there.

145

And when you look back, was there a specific fight or maybe even a specific loss that you thought, you know what, that's the one, that's the one that got me to push so hard that I got to this title?

146

I think my fight against Jan Shaunan, that was my main event.

147

Mark Zuckerberg was there, and it was just one judge gave it a draw, and then she won with the minority decision.

148

So it was a fight that I felt that I attacked so much on the ground,

149

and I felt just with the judges and the boxing commission that they didn't have the...

150

I felt like they gave her more respect for defending all the submissions

151

and all the danger that I put her in than how much danger I was actually putting her in.

152

And then since they saw it that way, they didn't kind of look about how me being a grappler, how I was standing and exchanging her,

153

and I hurt her too on the standing.

154

So I felt like I could have like or draw or won that fight with the jiu-jitsu mindset.

155

And so then when I lost that and I saw kind of, I understood the game of MMA, you know, and how, okay, ground and pound is, could be better and,

156

you know, worth more than me putting her in, like, these omopladas and, you know, all these chokes where I can, I'm hearing her, like, you know, like, choking, you know.

157

And I'm like, if this was in jujitsu, this would be, like, so dangerous for, like, I'd get all these advantages and all these things like that.

158

so that really helped me understand the game of MMA

159

and I think that's what helped change my mindset

160

and helped me get to the to the belt

161

and like on my title fight I'm like thinking about damage

162

and damage and damage and not just attacking and wasting energy for knowing

163

that people who are watching they want to see damage.

164

Thank you.

165

Mackenzie over here.

166

So obviously you got to participate on Tough a little bit this season help coach.

167

Is that something you could ever see yourself or want to maybe take a head coaching role on?

168

Oh yeah for sure that was fun.

169

It was really cool to like meet the girls

170

and the guys um and i was lucky

171

because it was the strawweight division so i was able to get the training in

172

but i mean i feel like not that i feel bad

173

but it's like it's a lot of pressure on them they're like it's monday 4 p.m

174

and they're like killing each other

175

and then they have to go fight each other like next week

176

and cut weight so what they put themselves through i'm like this is crazy you know

177

but to be able to be there and kind of try

178

and i don't know be an example for them and just help maybe inspire them a little bit

179

was fun but definitely I would like to get what would would be interesting to be part of it

180

and be one of the coaches and see who I would fight at the end or something like that.

181

And then last one for me obviously all attention on Jillian

182

but is there a clear number one contender after her do you maybe think Wei Li would be

183

that number one contender if she does come back to Charlotte?

184

I don't know I have no idea about I thought Wei Li was gonna be the my first title defense

185

so I really have no idea who they would offer after

186

and I don't have my eyes on anyone either so just chilling.

187

Mackenzie over here

188

when you won the belt your daughter was the happiest person in the world she looks

189

so happy on screen what has she told you ahead of your first title defense?

190

She tells me to train a lot because she wants now she understands that

191

if we win we get another one of these you know

192

it's not like we don't pass it on to someone

193

so she tells me to She's trained a lot to get a whole bunch of these.

194

She thinks it's super cool, so she wants to have them all around the house.

195

Awesome, best of skill.

196

Thank you.

197

Awesome, over here.

198

There's the old expression that a fighter gets 30% better after they gain that first title.

199

Do you feel that that's happened with you?

200

100%.

201

I mean, my first training back, my punches, my kicks, my movement was like, it was just crazy.

202

And I was like, coach, this is so crazy, you know?

203

And it was just, in my opinion, it's the pressure that comes off of you.

204

And then you can really just go into training and evolve and get better.

205

And you just, you don't have pressure on you anymore, you know? you already accomplished

206

that goal that you wanted and so now you just get

207

so much better for sure we've talked about the excitement around

208

women's mma the current state it's in right now there hasn't

209

been a woman as a main event in almost 18 months

210

do you feel any pressure on putting on an exciting performance

211

this saturday i mean i always feel a little bit pressure to put on exciting performance you know just

212

because i'm always putting that on myself i want to have a great fight

213

and I want I like bonuses

214

and I like having like you know fight of the nights

215

and things like that

216

so I mean definitely like I was saying before I would like to help

217

if I can help in any way I mean I'm not a good trash talker

218

so I'm not I can't go that route but

219

if I can you know get especially now in Paramount Plus

220

you get you know people who don't do martial arts who watching

221

and see the fight

222

and say like man what is she doing it the girl looks like a pretzel you know

223

or not or whatever knock out or especially being the champ

224

and being a mother and just you know try to represent

225

that the best way possible so yeah definitely i have

226

that pressure of trying to get exciting matches for helping women's mma

227

and ufc in general thank you mckenzie over here yeah uh ian gary recently said

228

that um the world would be a better place

229

if women were in charge I just want to know being a UFC woman champion just kind of your opinion

230

and if you agree with him um I mean that's

231

so hard I'm I come from like a little bit more

232

traditional um like upbringing you know obviously the woman my family are super strong

233

and independent and they taught me how to be strong woman

234

but I don't know I like the guy protecting and you know

235

leading and doing that stuff and I like to just relax

236

and if I need to go to war with him I will

237

but um yeah I mean I'm a mommy and stuff like

238

that so I think it's very good woman strong woman

239

and we don't depend on guys we can be independent but I like the man taking the lead thank you

240

thank you Mackenzie over here uh first up what was your reaction

241

when you heard that your fight was going to be the co-main event on this card?

242

I mean, I kind of, I imagined that, you know, my title fight was a co-main event.

243

So, yeah, I mean, I thought it was going to be happy.

244

I mean, I liked when I was fight nights because the whole poster was, like, just me and my opponent.

245

But it's cool.

246

I mean, two title fights, being fighting with legend, the guy in the guy's division, like Islam and Ian, And all these guys, for me, it's awesome.

247

And also, what was your reaction when you heard

248

that your fight was going to be held here in Philadelphia

249

for the first UFC event in this city in over seven years?

250

Man, I was super excited, especially just with the whole Rocky story and Philly cheesesteak sandwiches.

251

And, you know, I was really excited to be here.

252

And I haven't had, like, the best results on the East Coast, so I'm really trying to just break that.

253

Not superstition, but, you know, I like to take that stuff out, you know.

254

And so I'm excited to throw it down out here in Philly.

255

Final one for me is when you look at your opponent, what do you think is going to be one of your biggest challenges?

256

I mean, I think the biggest challenge with Jillian would just be,

257

I mean, I think like her not making a mistake.

258

You know, I think she's just going to like give her heart, you know, like she's trying to accomplish something that she wants so bad.

259

So I think just the biggest challenge will be having to control her focus,

260

you know, and try to cut down her confidence throughout the fight.

261

Jillian, right?

262

I feel like you've taken the long route to get here to the title shot.

263

So I guess now that we're only a couple days removed from

264

or ahead of your first title defense or title fight here in the UFC, I guess, how's camp been?

265

How's life been?

266

What are the emotions?

267

I actually have the longest route out of any female to a title fight.

268

So this will be my 21st fight with the UFC.

269

And this camp, it went absolutely phenomenal.

270

Honestly, one of my best.

271

I feel like I'm more confident than ever.

272

And I'm just ready for this opportunity.

273

Do you think that, I mean, like when Mara was doing this and when Charles Oliveira was on these runs too, where it took them so many wins to get the title shot, they got that fan support behind them?

274

Because like, when is it their turn?

275

Have you felt that from the fans too?

276

Because after McKenzie's last win, everyone was saying Tatiana, everyone was saying Whaley

277

and then there was like this kind of slow surge in

278

your name after your performances have you felt kind of the

279

fans getting behind you i guess a little bit yes

280

and no i felt a lot of the canadian fans getting

281

behind me i will say 100 canada has been in full support

282

and i breaking down mckenzie obviously everyone is going to say grappling versus grappling

283

but on the countdown you said you know she's going to have kind of the traditional jujitsu approach

284

and i'm the mma grappler so i I guess when you break down Mackenzie's skill set, I guess, are you impressed?

285

What do you make of her skill set?

286

I mean, I don't want to diminish anything.

287

I feel like she has really good Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

288

It's just this is MMA.

289

So I think that's where I'm going to be able to shine.

290

I think that she's going to bring a lot of fight, but it's going to wear out in the later rounds, and that's where I'm going to shine.

291

Historically, when we see two high-level grapplers, I'm sure you've seen it, it kind of turns into a striking matchup because they cancel each other out.

292

so i guess everyone knows her skills on the ground

293

but what do you make of her striking

294

because this is an mma fight after all the fight does

295

start standing uh i feel like her striking is aggressive she's very defensively open for my strikes as well though

296

but she's definitely going to come at me and throw everything she's got

297

and i saw an interview where you said you don't think she likes you

298

and i asked mckenzie during that yesterday

299

and she's like i've never even met her i don't know where this is coming from

300

so do you actually think that she doesn't

301

or is this something you have to build in your head to kind of maybe?

302

She was making comments all through the camp about how she doesn't know me, she doesn't think my jujitsu is good and all this stuff, and now she's like, oh no,

303

it's not anything, it's not that I don't like her.

304

I'm like, why are we trying to take this back now?

305

Like, you're talking all this shit through camp, Keep that same energy.

306

So would you ever respected it more if she just came up to you and was like, I don't actually like you, like, to your face?

307

Oh, yeah.

308

No, because I don't like her right now, you know?

309

I'm like, we're about to fight each other this week.

310

Good luck.

311

Thank you.

312

Jillian, over here.

313

You know, what's the experience in Philly been like?

314

Have you done any bucket list items in the middle of all this championship fight camp?

315

I haven't had time to do anything at all.

316

I actually flew out to Toronto for a little bit of a media tour on Monday, and my flight got canceled.

317

So I didn't make it to Philly until yesterday, which was a little bit unexpected.

318

So I haven't had time to do anything really.

319

You have any bucket list things you want to do with the belt on Sunday, maybe?

320

I guess I haven't put too much thought into that yet.

321

And one more for me.

322

Din Thomas is somebody who supported you and mentored you for a long time.

323

How much would it mean to bring the belt back to him, and what's the biggest thing he's taught you along the way?

324

It's been since I was 15 years old, Din and I have been working together, so I think it really is our belt more than anything else.

325

He's molded me into the fighter that I am today, so it would mean the world for me to be able to win that for us.

326

Awesome.

327

Best of luck on Saturday.

328

Thank you.

329

Thank you, Julian.

330

You did have a face-off with Mackenzie last night though.

331

Can you just tell us kind of what your takeaways from

332

that were and obviously getting to do it on the famous Rocky steps?

333

I guess on the similar note of I expected her to be a little bit more aggressive.

334

She shook my hand twice and it kind of threw me off where I was like, thought we were talking shit.

335

You told me on Monday when we were in Toronto

336

that you feel that belt's already yours to be able to see it up close during that face-off.

337

Does that just give you a little more of a boost?

338

I guess a little bit, but I feel like it's just another fight to me.

339

It's still just that.

340

It's just going in there and being able to have the opportunity to perform, and I just hope that I'm able to do that.

341

What are your expectations for the press conference tomorrow?

342

I know you said you hope she talks a little trash.

343

Are you thinking it might go a different way now, or how do you think it's going to go?

344

I guess I'm not really sure how it's going to go, but like I said, I'm keeping the same energy.

345

I still don't like her.

346

Jillian over here.

347

UFC put out a stat this week.

348

You're tied with Amanda Nunes for most finishes amongst women in MMA.

349

What would it mean to get that finish this weekend and take that record?

350

Amanda has been my absolute idol through the sport.

351

I feel like there is no woman that is better than her.

352

So to be able to beat one of her records is really like, that's a big step for me.

353

That's really what means a lot.

354

And then what kind of champion do you envision yourself being?

355

Very active with title defenses, interest in two belts.

356

What are your thoughts there?

357

I definitely want to be very active.

358

I feel like I've always been very active through my career.

359

And I don't think champs should move up until they clear out their division.

360

So if I'm able to clear out my division, then I might move up.

361

But at this time, it's staying in 115.

362

And then last one for me.

363

I don't want to get too far ahead of the fight or anything.

364

But other than you right now, is there a clear number one contender in the division?

365

I guess there's always a question mark over Wei Li right now to see where she's at.

366

I think that with another win under her belt, Fatima's coming up, or Sayonara too.

367

I'm like, they're girls who I'm definitely watching and looking at for the years coming up.

368

You were talking about the long road you took to get here, right?

369

And, you know, filled with losses, setbacks and everything.

370

With a loss, a setback, especially watching all the other girls get a shot before you did, even though a lot of fans and yourself, I'm sure, felt you deserved a shot at that point.

371

Any of that ever kind of maybe put a doubt in your mind if you ever actually get to this point?

372

No, it's just a bit about the joy of the ride.

373

I've just been having fun with it the whole time.

374

I feel like one of the greatest lessons I've ever learned

375

was literally as I was taking the steps out of the octagon, when I got TKO'd by Macy Barber, my coach Dean came up to me and he was like, it's over.

376

And it's like, you just have to realize that in those moments, it's over.

377

There's nothing you can do about it.

378

We move on to the next moment and we just keep pushing forward.

379

There you go.

380

And you've known, I mean, we all know you're one of the best grapplers in the UFC, you know, without a doubt.

381

But let's say you get in there

382

so you do go to the ground Let's say you submit someone like Mackenzie Dern with the credentials

383

that she has what does that rank for you?

384

What would that rank for you personally like as a grappler?

385

No, I think

386

that definitely be my one of my top submissions in the

387

UFC Especially there is no one as credentialed in her in the UFC in BJJ as she is

388

so I and she's never been said before So I think to get

389

that like feather in my cap would be great Wait, and last one for me.

390

You went on Saturday.

391

Where would you, if you could, you know, tell Dana, hey, I want to go here.

392

Where would you want your first defensive to be?

393

Obviously, Canada is where I'd love to have it, but if Waley's coming back, I'm down to go to Shanghai.

394

All right.

395

Best of luck.

396

Thank you.

397

Jillian, over here.

398

You're riding your longest win streak coming into your first title shot.

399

What changed in your career to allow you to put all these wins together?

400

I think I just kind of found the right, I guess, mixture that I needed to make me feel confident and prepared walking in.

401

Between my coach, Dean Thomas, and the goat shed, I feel like we just have – we found something good there.

402

Awesome.

403

And obviously, you guys have very high-level MMA grappling.

404

Let's take away the punches, take away the kicks.

405

If this was purely a jiu-jitsu-only match, how do you think you would do against Mackenzie Dern?

406

No, I would give it to her, honestly.

407

I think that if it is pure jiu-jitsu – I haven't trained pure jiu-jitsu since I got into the UFC.

408

I've only been training jujitsu with strikes.

409

So even opening a closed guard, I don't really know how to without punching somebody in the face at this point.

410

So if it was pure jujitsu, I wouldn't be surprised if she had a little bit of an edge.

411

Awesome.

412

Thank you.

413

I just want to know, representing Canada, what it's going to be like to potentially win the belt

414

and be the first champ since GSP and represent both the new generation of men and women in Canada?

415

I feel like every time I hear it, it just feels unreal.

416

To be Canada's first woman champ is just, it's, I'm like, I just don't feel like I'm that cool, you know?

417

I'm just doing this having fun.

418

So to be able to say that I'm like leading the MMA in Canada, I guess I don't think of it as that big, but it's definitely unreal to me.

419

What does it mean to you to have your title fight be on the co-main event of this card?

420

I think being on the co-main event of a card with Islam headlining it, who is the greatest right now, I think it's just a great spot,

421

a great opportunity, and hopefully a lot of eyes are going to be on the show.

422

And when you heard this fight was going to be held here in Philadelphia, what was your initial reaction?

423

My initial reaction was I heard the arena was going to be huge and the fans are crazy, and that's all I'm looking forward to.

424

I love that energy.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
