I'd see people being really successful, whether it was my teammates or big-name fighters like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, and I'd think, 'I want to be a legend like that.'
From Holly Holm
A fighter can always recover, and you never know what they're going to come back with.
It doesn't matter what odds are on paper or what's happened before. It matters what happens that moment.
Fighting is a very emotionally draining sport. I don't want to waste time on drama beforehand.
Aim high and don't sell yourself short. Know that you're capable. Understand that a lot of people battle with a lot of things - depression, body image or whatever else - so know that it's not just you. You're not alone.
I just want to be a fighter. I just like to win fights.
I can't even explain how blessed I am and how fortunate that I have such a great team that believes in me.
I started doing MMA and boxing at the same time - I always wanted to try an MMA fight to see what it was like. I had one fight, and I was hooked.
I still have a lot to learn, and I still have a lot to prove.
When I don't have a fight scheduled, training is even more fun. I can come into the gym and work on stuff that isn't generated for a specific game plan. I can just play around with it and have a good time. I never want to get to the point where I'm sick of it.
