Sometimes, the UFC and the fans need a break from the hectic schedule of fights.

The UFC’s last event was UFC 306 at Sphere in Las Vegas. Noche UFC, the visual masterpiece that was, thrilled fans in attendance and at home with a breathtaking journey throughout the “love letter to Mexico” that saw two titles change hands.

Miedema felt joining City was a straightforward decision and added: “For me football has always been really important but I have only made my football decisions based on two things – my happiness off the pitch and on it.

“When I spoke to [City manager] Gareth [Taylor] I knew the football was going to be fine. I’m still living in the UK, London is two hours away so it’s the perfect step. I’ve really settled in on the pitch and starting to get to know the girls off the pitch.

“Putting one and one together made this a very easy decision in the end.”

City came second in the WSL last season, missing out on the title on goal difference to Chelsea, with Arsenal finishing third, five points behind.

Taylor felt Miedema’s signing and her versatility made his squad stronger.

“We’re pleased,” Taylor told 5 Live. “Viv, we’re working on her in a number of positions and we know what she can bring. She has been known as a number nine or someone who plays behind a striker.

“So when you have these options at the top end of pitch like Mary fowler, Aoba Fujino, Chloe Kelly, Lauren Hemp, Bunny Shaw and players like Viv, Jessie Park, Laura Coombs, Jill Roord, Laura Blindkilde Brown, we’ve got talented players that can bring different options so we’ve strengthened a little bit in that area.”
