My parents, they gave me everything. They taught me how to work hard. They taught me how to be a good Catholic. They taught me how to love people, how to respect people, but how to stand my ground, as well.

I don't do fights on Twitter.

I want people to talk about me in five, 10 years, 20 years, that I was one of the best female MMA fighters, that I was one of the best UFC champions in the world back in the day. This is what I want.

Maybe some people think that it's all about the hype, about the fame, but it's not. It's all about being the best. It's all about challenging myself everyday.

I'm a professional athlete, I'm a businesswoman and I know who I am.

I want to have my own kids, I want to raise them and just be a happy grandma.

I'm one hundred percent into my life, and into my fighting career. This is who I want to be in the future - as a mother - and if I'm going to leave the sport, I leave the sport. When I finish with fighting, I'm done.

I'm not cocky. I'm not arrogant. I know my value.

I like the good part of the sport, the sport side of the fighting.
