Talk about behind the scenes! 😂
Being an athlete who is required to travel to multiple practices a day, I’ve had to learn major wardrobe adaptation skills with removing sweaty clothes while being in a rush going from practice to practice.
I can remove my bottoms as well as my tops from under clothing and have even had to do it while being stopped at a stoplight! 🚘🚦😏💪🏼
Do you have any quirky special clothing skills?
Me vs Miesha Tate
Who remembers this fight?
What did you truly think when they decided to add women to the UFC? Were you curious? Against it? For it?
I remember walking out to this fight and being so nervous and grateful, I almost couldn’t snap out of it. The pressure was on for me to prove that we could put on good fights and deserved to be there.
It took me a while to wake up and start fighting back, she definitely beat my ass that first round haha
I think this match up was very calculated, they wanted us to be really skilled and intense but also very feminine.
Do you think they did a good job?
Here’s my picks for tonight, starting at Creminara vs Barber!
Who are your picks? Agree or disagree with mine?
This is such a great card!
Me right now, fresh out of bed 🥱
I have 9 hours before I have a tequila tasting event tonight 😏

And thanks for the ❤️ on this International Women’s Day, Im going to go get a pedicure and some pampering today 😘
I have a lot of unpacking to do 😅
I’m so excited about my new home.
I won’t lie, getting here was intense!
I like change but boy it can feel overwhelming at times.
I’m glad I’m finally here, cozy and get to start on another new chapter 🥰📖🧦🏡
Saturday vibes💫
I’m spending the day packing 📦 and moving 🚛 I’ll need some time tonight to unwind 🤪
So Ill pick the dress, and you pick the entertainment.
Where would we go tonight? 🍷 🍽️ 💃🏻🕺🏻
I LOVE when I get to use my feminine energy and get to just be hot and feel girly!
Dance class on Thursdays might just have to be a thing. Next time I’ll see if I can sneak a video and show you the floor work that makes us need knee pads!! 🥵
Footwork is footwork and it all contributes to being a better athlete, plus it’s fun, so I’ll take it! 💪🏼

I rarely get a six-pack but I alway have had these side abs. I am really strong at squeezing while in good positions and am very strong in bridging while getting out of bad positions.
Not many people have been able to keep me on my back in a fight or dodge the head kick-takedown that comes with the power of my strong hips and obliques.
My body is strongest from the hips up, even though my legs are also very strong.
Where would you say you’re strongest? Upper body or lower body?
I’m thinking I’m going to start some pole dance to keep my core strength and flexibility while I’m taking this little reset break. Can’t wait 💃🏻🪩
Finally back after three days of coaching wrestling 🤼
I’m worn out, but I’m really proud of all the competitors. Happy to be home and able to relax now, I think I’ll have myself an old fashioned 🥃🏠❤️🤗
We didn’t get the results we wanted at the tournament but they still medaled and the journey was amazing. I wouldn’t take back a single second 🥰
I’m pretty sure my UFC fight picks were all wrong 😂 so it just wasn’t my weekend, however, it would have been a great one for you to bet against me 🤔😝
Thanks for being a fun place to come back to. You all are great 🙏🏼😘😉
Here are my UFC 298 fight picks for this weekend, and my expert (or emotional) opinion on why 😉!

Don’t be shy, tell me about your custom ideas
Fighter legs 💋
Between wrestling and MMA I’ve had two staph infections that required 5 surgeries, a right torn ACL, right and left torn meniscus and multiple PRP/stem cells treatments.
Yes I may have some scars, but at least I don’t have excuses. My knees and feet are still my greatest weapons.
Good morning 🤓
Hope you have a wonderful Saturday!
UFC 232
The night before weigh-ins against Megan Anderson
This fight got moved from Las Vegas to LA last minute, because Jon Jones tested positive for steroids. Las Vegas boxing commission wouldn’t allow it, but LA would!
Who remembers this New Years weekend?
It’s not the strength, it’s the leverage
It’s not the moves, it’s the speed
It’s not the height, it’s the dexterity
It’s not the size, it’s the will
You’ve never felt anyone like me 💪🏼😘
Hey Alligators 🐊
See you later??
Don’t forget tonight’s livestream at 6pm PST
😘
I’m someone that needs intensity and change in my life.
For college I went full scholarship to wrestle, and my original major was Sports psychology. I changed over to sports med after a while. My biggest problem was the homework. I was exhausted at the end of the day and I couldn’t retain anything I was reading and when I thought about the job these would eventually turn in to, I didn’t like the thought of sitting in the same place doing the same predictable thing every day. My body needs to move or I can get anxious.
Eventually I changed my major to sign language interpreting, since I had a lot of deaf people in my life, thinking that would have provided me with a good amount of variety in my day.
While I was in school I found BJJ and that changed everything.
Eventually jiu jitsu lead to Muay Thai and then MMA. I decided to put finishing school on hold to pursue this possible professional combat career. Now I can’t imagine what life would be like if I didn’t have to gear up for work every time. It’s very unpredictable, difficult, ever changing and has no real boss other than myself. No two days are alike.
Even when I’m physically exhausted or injured, I’m still really happy for this to be my path. I like goals with intensity and consequences, I wouldn’t be happy if I had to be doing anything else. So putting on layers of pads and braces and wraps truly is me living my purpose. And without it I’d never have met all you guys either :)
🙏🏼grateful
Throw back to the beach and memories of far away places 🇧🇷 🌊

Nothing heals me and takes away stress like getting the ocean, a lake, a pool or a bath.
I don’t know what it is, but I know I should be in there more often. ☺️ 🌊🏝️
What do you do to relieve stress?
🚨 Make sure to join me for this upcoming week’s livestream on Wednesday 6:00pm PST🚨
Bed time soon 😴
Gotta be up early tomorrow for wrestling, only a couple tournaments left in the season. 🌅
What do you have planned for this weekend?
What’s my opinion on Kayla Harrison going to the UFC?
First is, I know she was struggling to make 155lbs (my coach and her were team mates in judo) so making 135 is going to be VERY challenging.
Second, I think they are using Holly a little bit as a gate keeper. Shes a big name, has a big following and been in the game a long time, so it’ll move Kayla up the rankings a lot and quickly if she does good against her.
The Bantam weight division is a little tough and low energy right now, so I think the UFC is doing what they can to spark some more interest. We shall see.
What are your thoughts?
First thing I’d do if we needed to fight.
I’d circle and make you step toward me.
I’d low single your lead leg.
I’d either lift and sweep out the sanding leg or I’d bulldoze through at the knee and hook with my back leg once I got your knees close together.
Once you hit your butt to the floor I’d climb pass to side control and collect both your arms and trap them under my arms or pin to your own chest.
I’d knee on belly, lift your head and snap sit you to take your back.
I’d lock in a doorman chokee and wait, depending on the purpose for the catch.
I had to do this once with a big drunkk wrestler at the Olympic training center. Had to hold them there for 2 hours until they stopped fighting and trying to break stuff. Finally they passed out to sleep.
All offense is the defense.
That’s always been the name of the game for me.
Have you ever had to restrain someone? Or been restrained?
It’s cold and rainy here in Southern California today!
I was planning to hike after my strength and conditioning this morning, but there is no way now haha ☔️
I’ll just go back home and be safe and cozy. 🧸
The cool part is that all the hikes with waterfalls will be beautiful this week.
Do you like to hike? Are you outdoorsy?
P.S. my manager asked me if I’d ever want to go back to the UFC… what do you think? 🤔
Who you got?
I’m betting on Strickland, Bueno Silva and Magny.
I pick Strickland because he’s crazy and has very strong mental and physical momentum right now,
Bueno Silva because Pennington crumbles in high pressure fights
and Magny because he’s my old team mate and a brother to me, so I WANT him to win and his reach is trouble for a lot of people.
Wanna bet?
Tip me with your choice of fighter and how much you want to bet on them.
If your fighter wins I’ll send you a picture worth double your tip.
If you lose I’ll send you a picture for the original value of your tip.
TGIF
I’ll be right here. I will not be moving 😆😌
TV shows and feet up this Friday night.
What about you?
