WHEN FIGHT FANS HEAR YOUR NAME, WHAT DO YOU WANT THEM TO REMEMBER?
I want them to think that I am one badass girl that guarantees to entertain. I want to be remembered as a professional and relentless fighter that gets better and more exciting every fight. A fighter you don’t want to miss in action.
