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.

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

Everybody is their own critic.

I am always training because I love it.

My first fight. I fought a girl that was a little bit heavier, a little bit more experienced and I was petrified because I didn't know what I was getting myself into. And I did really well against her and nobody believed it was my first fight.

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

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.
