Her father wanted her to participate at a top fight club, where her older brother, daniel, had trained for the first few months at repton.

She has announced um she’s coming forward man, she’s she’s, coming for them all uh.
She looks up to uh women.
Like you know the clarissa shields, the katie taylors uh.

But it is a fear.
Uh fiercely contested division, so she’s not concerned about competing, but uh.
You know it’s holding some of the top fighters in the sport right now that division and uh she knows it’s better, so yeah yeah, it’s uh.

I was reading a great story about it and um, and you know what guys go out it’s in her blood.
