On being the underdog in the Rousey fight:
“I’ve been the underdog more than once, and it’s fine with me. Every day in training, I’m up against great training partners. Every day is a test for me, so I don’t mind being an underdog,” she says. “Some of these girls put her so high up on a pedestal that they’re not remembering they’re in there for a reason. I’m in there for a reason – because I have the capability and the ability to win.”
On how it felt to defeat Ronda Rousey:
“I want to show people I’m made up of a lot and I have a lot of potential to do great things in this sport,” she says. “I don’t get in there thinking, ‘I’m fighting for my paycheck.’ I get in there thinking, ‘I want to win this fight.’ The feeling of a victory is priceless.
