What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It's what I've dreamed of and waited for my whole life
What are your current ranks in martial arts?Purple Belt in BJJ
Who is your favorite fighter and why? Ronda Rousey is my favorite fighter because of her aggressiveness and pioneering nature in the sport.
Do you have any heroes outside of fighting? My mother is my main hero.
Is there a cause that you want to use your platform for? Always use it to help more children to play sports and be able to defend themselves.
Beyond a championship or money, what motivates you? My family, my mother and my brother, always motivate me.
Tell us about your life outside of fighting: I have pets that are my whole life, two little dogs that I love, a great dane and a weimaraner. They are what makes me happiest; spending time with them is wonderful. I love to sing and dance to all kinds of music and I love being with family and friends.
What is one thing that you want UFC fans to know about you? This is my dream and I would like to create gyms to help children get off the streets. My mother is my greatest strength and she has fought for me to be where I am.
