“My dad was an alcoholic and there was a lot of issues with that in the family environment and I was bullied at school.”
“I feel like I have a really good platform to help other people that might not necessarily be able to have this platform.”
“My dad has a half-Australian and half-Scottish accent and a lot of people struggle to understand him.”
“Every day it's something different with Cris. I respect the hell out of her. She's been a pioneer in the sport, but every day is something different.”
“I think a lot of my toughness with my fighting comes from having a Scottish dad and Scottish family.”
“I respect Cris and I think Cris is a lovely person, but the Cris that's portrayed on social media is not necessarily someone that I would look up to or I would respect.”
“At the end of the day, there's only so much that our team focuses on an individual opponent. Like, you don't want to play their game, you don't want to wait until they do something specific for you to be able to counter or attack. What if they don't use that certain combination or whatever it is in the fight?”
“I'm a sore loser, I'll admit it.”
“Everyone's goal is reach the UFC so to get that opportunity is amazing.”
“There are things that we all do that we hate about ourselves or that we regret. But it's about giving yourself grace, forgiving yourself and being kind to yourself. Being truthful and 100 per cent authentically you, I think that's such a great feeling.”
“Amanda is tough and she has a lot of power, but it will be interesting to see if she can keep the pace for five rounds at 135 pounds.”
“I definitely don't see Cat wanting to stand. There's a big height and reach difference and we obviously both want to play to our strengths. It's MMA. It's how this game works.”
“I think the more fighters that come out and talk about it, I feel like we really have a good voice to show people that it is OK to not be OK.”
“I think there's such a stigma around mental health, particularly as fighters, we are seen as invincible.”
“What I have learned is that life is all about being you and that's something that I accepted over the years as well. It's something I'd like to share with people and it's something that makes you stronger.”
“I don't really like training for a specific person, just the constant grind and not missing a session and not having a lot of freedom to do things that I want to do, I need to focus on training.”
“I just focus on me, I get up, I go to training, I come home, then I go back to training, I come home, I play video games, I watch anime, I hang out with my dog and I just focus on me.”
“People underestimate Holly's footwork and her evasiveness.”
“It's very rare that we get one Australian on the card in America, let alone three on the main card on pay per view.”
“I think Cris's - she was on like a 21-fight win streak or something like that - I think her invincibility is what made it hard for people to want to stay in this division because she was so dominant and I have believed for a while that if Cris was to lose or if she was to not fight anymore, I feel like the division would flourish.”
