I wanted to get in the ring and be like Muhammad Ali.

I want to get out there. I want to show myself.

Fighters before a fight, they shouldn't get riled up.

I am a woman and I don't have the power and the strength of a man, so I have to use my technique and my strategy more than just using brute strength like some of the guys do.

Belts are immaterial. What's material to me is who have you fought, how many rounds have you fought, how many fights have you fought.

It takes a lot when you are a professional fighter to stay in top condition. You have to sacrifice a lot and I did.

It doesn't matter in MMA if you're a woman or a man. You're going to fight 5 rounds, 5 minutes (per round). If they want a real world champion, then the fights should be 12 rounds, 3 minutes (per round) for a woman boxer and you'll weed out some of the world championship fighters.
