Of course, fighting is not going to be as graceful as movie fighting. I don't like it to be ugly and I don't like it to be one big brawl or people clobbering each other.

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

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

I am always training because I love it.

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.

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.

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