It's a very big deal to me to remain the same person because I know all of this is going to be gone one day and I'm just going to have myself.

I am not a violent person. I actually don't like to hurt people.

I think I came up in fighting in a really technical way. If you've ever seen my fights, you know I love distance, I love technique.

I like fighting because it's honest.

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

I know I don't look like the skinny slender model. I know I look a little different but people like to watch me for some reason. It feels good and I'm humbled by it.

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