Bring the fights on. If I'm going to be the champ, I gotta beat everyone anyway, so what does sitting and waiting and holding my position do?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Listen, I'm the champ, and I'm not going to pick and choose who I fight.
You have to make sure you have the right people around you to get the right fights, and you're not guaranteed to get the best fights.
A lot of people, once they become champion, they relax, kind of sit in the position and try to enjoy it. But I feel like everything I've ever worked for could be lost at any moment. I work harder and harder and harder, because I want to be farther ahead with every fight, and not worrying about these girls catching up to me.
I think any fight you get into, you've got to shine and show that you deserve to be up there.
I strictly want to beat every opponent I face, whether it's for a title or for a small show. The only thing for me is winning my fights and being the best athlete I can be.
I try to live in the moment. When you're in a singles match, you're in there, and the guy's on top of you, and you're in a hold, and you're being smothered: You're in the fight at all times. But when we're doing these team fights, you have a little time to take in the moment and just absorb the energy of the crowd.
I win by submissions, knockouts. There's guys ranked above me, but no one's interested in seeing them fight. They want to see me fight.
I just have to go out and fight my fight and fight to win.
I like to win without fighting. But if I can't, then I'm prepared to fight.
You become a champion by fighting one more round. When things are tough, you fight one more round.
