When I enjoy doing something, I don't mind if it hurts.

I didn't really watch action films growing up! I grew up on stuff like 'Anne of Green Gables' - that was more when I was in elementary school. It was all I ever watched.

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.

The ultimate first date? Something that is completely out of the ordinary - go crazy, because first dates are always a little awkward, so do something a little extreme.

I don't get paid what people think I get paid for fighting.

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

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.
