It was priceless. Being the UFC champion and having my kids in the Octagon, my wife, them holding the belt. That was like a movie.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There wasn't much money in this sport when I started, but I didn't get into it because of money. I loved to fight, and I loved MMA.
When I came back to the UFC, I was just excited.
Coming back to the UFC was huge. I was ready for the spotlight for the first time.
Back in '93 I saw my first UFC fight and just became enamored by it then.
I was lucky. I held on to some of my money. I didn't really know what I wanted to do after boxing. But I found what I wanted to do.
'Dancing with the Stars' was a really great experience. People were definitely surprised that I'm a fighter, or they couldn't believe I'm a professional fighter, but I feel like I'm going to get that for a while. I'm excited to bring a new demographic over to MMA and the UFC.
I think the hardest thing I went through in the UFC was my first loss. It was terrible. It was traumatizing. But it's just going back and rebuilding and getting better.
I fought for, like, five years in Hawaii - nothing better than that. It was awesome. Every fight, I went on vacation, and I wasn't cutting any weight, so I could just eat whatever I wanted. I enjoyed it.
I'm going to fight until the end. My husband is worth it. He wanted me to have it. He was worth a lot. He was a very, very wealthy man.
I took up boxing to get in shape for filming because it's grueling - all the running, the heat, the yelling, the crying that we do.
