12/13/2013 If you missed the live show the audio will be up early this coming week. Check back then please.
“I have been working my butt off to make sure the same thing doesn’t happen to me. I think as fighters we strive to grow and to be better and to never let the same thing happen twice. I’m a woman on a mission here. “(She laughs)
“I guess I have always found motivation off of people thinking that I can’t or shouldn’t do something. It is one of those things that I have become used to. You know a lot of people don’t think I am going to be able to do, what I am going to do. But also those people that doubt me are the people who have not gotten into the octagon themselves. They don’t understand what it takes to be a fighter and I think most of them, if they were, would have tapped out the first time Rhonda had them/me in an armbar. But you know I didn’t. I am a different kind of person. I am a different kind of breed. Most people can’t relate. They can’t understand the things that I am willing to put myself through to win this fight. And they can’t comprehend it. So I think their mind is on a more simplistic level, and much less: I don’t think any of those people would be willing to fight Rhonda again if they were in my shoes. They would have been like- no I just lost; I am just going to give up. I am not that kind of person. I am not going to give up. I am never going to settle and I know I can beat Ronda Rousey. She is not invincible. There are plenty of holes in her game. I am excited to be the first person to go out there and beat her and be the champion and take the belt back from her.”
