She also talked about her two losses have made her a better fighter.
"I think my losses have done me way more good than my wins have. My losses are definitely what made me the fighter I am today because they teach you a lot about yourself. Winning is easy, losing is hard, but you learn a lot when you lose. If you have the right attitude about it, you can walk away and say, 'OK, now I know where I was weak and I can strenghten that.' If you win, you're learning what you already know you're good at, so when you lose, it's a true testament of how you can become a better fighter, so it helps you learn a lot about yourself."
