I needed something to challenge myself a little more. I found fighting, and it completely fit my personality.

I definitely want to be an inspiration or a role model for all the little girls out there or anyone out there that wants to break stereotypes. I feel like I'm breaking stereotypes with what I'm doing. I'm not the typical fighter, and there's a lot of people out there that won't do something just because they don't fit the stereotype.

When I'm training, I cater a little bit to my opponents.

There's a lot of girls out there that can relate to me. They can look at me and see themselves a little bit. There's a lot of girls out there that have a tougher side to them. I just think that people are really grown and attracted to that, and that's why people like to see me fight.

I was in culinary school for a little while, but it was just too hard to cut weight and cook at the same time.

There is a lot more to me than just being a crazy fighter.
