Recently, the ‘Lioness’ appeared in an interview with MMA Junkie. She talked about her next matchup with Julianna Pena and also about the impact her daughter has on her life.
“I feel like she helped me a lot with my patience,” she said. “(I) wake up early now and be an even better person every day. I have to be able to raise her for she to be a good person, you know?
“So, I feel like she (has) come to my life to do good things, help me to do everything that I ever had when I was young. I will be able to provide for her, so keeping me motivated. I feel like she really does that,” she added.
The Brazilian mauler then talked about staying at the top and feels like there is nobody can stop her at least for now. She wants to keep all these memories and also the belt with her at home.
She then talked about her desire to fight till her daughter understands the sport. “Yeah definitely, I want her to understand, (to) be able to cheer for me. I’m gonna go as long as possible till my body tells me to stop,” she concluded.

The ‘Lioness’ fought against Megan Anderson earlier this year at UFC 259. She produced a masterclass and defeated the latter via reverse triangle armbar in round 1 and successfully defended her featherweight gold.
It will take a herculean effort from someone to stop the lioness and capture her belts. Seems like the task has got even tougher, with her daughter providing her extra motivation.
