MMA fighter, Liza Verzosa, spoke with Drake Riggs of mymmanews.com:
“As for the “Battle Angel” moniker, it comes from the 1990s manga series which was recently turned into a feature film as of 2019, Alita: Battle Angel. Verzosa found herself connecting with the character and her spirit for fighting. Therefore the nickname was adopted.”
