That's why I love fighting, because I get to have a big battle every couple months to make up for the little battles I have to forfeit every day

I get asked that a lot and I always go back to my mom's, 'No one has the right to beat you.' I take that to every venue that I'm in. She would say, 'Someone has to be the best in the world, why not you?' I always try to keep that in mind.

I kind of like to think of myself as the bad girl Olympian that would get kicked out of the Miss America pageant.

Some people like to call me cocky or arrogant, but I just think 'how dare you assume I should think less of myself'

I thought that I was mutant somehow. I eventually realized that I have a very natural look, and that's what God gave me, and I'm proud of it. It was kind of a way for me to get past that as well.

I'm kind of like a middle mix between a warrior diet and a Paleo diet, so I only eat once a day and it's at night - so kind of like interval fasting. But I eat until I'm full, I eat as much as I want, and I really don't eat anything that you couldn't find, you know, 10,000 years ago.

I train to be the best in the world on my worst day
