There's nothing that can teach you more than experience.

On 'American Gladiators,' I got to pummel a lot of people off a pyramid with a giant Q-tip. It was so much fun to wrestle people with no risk of getting knocked out or choked out.

I like fighting because it's honest.

My mom used to tell me: It's not what you weigh; it's what you look like.

I know I'm always rooting for the underdog in a fight, and I love to be constantly surprised.

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.

You want to get better even after people smash you down. You want to be better than you were before.
