She said, “Yeah, I do. I do. And that’s why I feel like the women don’t get as many eyes as they should. You know, Ronda Rousey was out there and she was killing chicks. You know, she was finishing fights, she was going forward. She wasn’t really knocking people out, maybe Bethe Correia. But she was looking for the finish. And she wasn’t in there to just get a paycheck, and I feel like that’s a lot of them. And I’m in there to finish. I train all the time and I’m always looking for the finish, and I train to make sure I have enough energy to go for the finish.”
