Well you know, I have the utmost respect for people like Angelina Jolie and Zoe Saldana in 'Colombiana.

The guys I date always want to test my strength and wrestle around. By the end, they're drenched in sweat.

I definitely don't want to be one of those athletes who turns into a cheesy actress.

There are certain things that I always dreamed of, like fighting in the UFC. There's just certain things that I feel like haven't been accomplished there. There's such great women coming up in the sport; seems like a wonderful time to be in women's MMA.

I have gotten some of the most beautiful experiences that a person can possibly ask for so I'm not at all complaining.

Since I've started fighting it has taught me a lot about self respect, self confidence and self control.

I don't mind answering any questions, because I'm not just a fighter. I'm a lot more than that.
