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.

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 think there's a part in each one of us that wants the impossible to happen, and that's what surprises are.

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

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 want people to see me for who I am and not for how someone else is trying to promote me.

Everybody is their own critic.
