1:03
comfortable with saying how much you

1:07
on track I'm closer than usually this
1:10
far out so we're ahead of schedule so
1:12
it's going to be nice and easy cool You
1:16
Famous Last Words famous last words I
1:18
know I'm Gonna Knock on some wood real
1:20
quick yeah you you go do that go burn
1:23
some sage like pray to the MMA gods that
1:25
they don't punish you for for doing
1:27
that the pi gods
1:32
oh it's always the way it's always the
1:34
ones where I'm like oh this going to be
1:35
the easiest cut ever like I remember UFC
1:37
London was the worst cut I've ever done
1:39
and it was probably the smallest cut
1:41
I've ever done we cut weight from like
1:43
8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. and we took like
1:45
a 30- minute break it got to the point
1:47
where like they were just locking me in
1:48
the sauna like it just wouldn't come off
1:50
I don't know if it was the flight or
1:51
like something got messed up like I had
1:53
a lot more media so I feel like one of
1:55
the days I maybe like messed up my water
1:56
load a little bit but yeah it was like
1:59
the worst cut ever and then I'll have
2:01
like a big cut and it'll just Bo come
2:03
straight off so I'm like I don't I don't
2:04
know I don't trust myself
2:06
anymore it's crazy how that happens
2:08
every weight cut is kind of like a a
2:11
science experiment right like I used to
2:13
do did you guys do science experiments
2:15
and in your schools in Welles yeah Coman
2:20
how do you say the place that you're
2:22
from cumbran com brand okay that's what
2:25
I thought but the W was [ __ ] me up I
2:28
wasn't sure the w like a u so it's yeah
2:31
it's kumra yeah okay so you guys did
2:33
like the science fairs where you had to
2:35
come up with a hypothesis and we did
2:38
that in class I didn't we didn't really
2:40
have like science fairs and stuff like
2:42
it wasn't as big a deal yeah we're we're
2:45
really science celebrate
2:47
science you guys that's one thing I've
2:49
noticed you guys celebrate everything
2:50
like any excuse to like celebrate like
2:53
Americans
2:54
[Music]
2:56
just like 10 Place gets a rhythm
2:58
nobody's left out
3:00
we love science until we graduate from
3:02
elementary school then no more science
3:05
for us Americans that's funny yeah but
3:08
that's what weight cutting feels like to
3:10
me is is it kind of like that with you
3:12
like every Cut's different or do you
3:14
have a system now I I pretty much follow
3:17
the same system um it's just every now
3:19
and then like my body will either play
3:22
extra nice or be a little like it's like
3:25
it's like I feel like it's I've got a
3:27
system and it works it's just it's not
3:30
the same every single time you know what
3:31
I mean it could be a like like you're
3:34
both sty women we know it could be like
3:35
a different time of the month and your
3:36
body's just like nope we don't play
3:38
today you know what I mean so it's like
3:41
yeah it's I've got a system it works
3:42
every time you know I mean I haven't I
3:43
haven't missed weight ever and I never
3:45
will but you know I can't speak on how
3:48
easy or hard it'll be you better knock
3:50
that wood again go knock that what are
3:52
you doing I'm on a wood table right now
3:56
purely for this
3:58
reason
4:02
fire oh gosh fingers crossed yeah you
4:06
got this you got this well um since
4:10
you're pretty good with weight like what
4:12
have you been focusing on the most since
4:14
the last one I know you don't want to
4:16
give up too much gameplay and stuff but
4:19
generally can you say like what you've
4:21
been up to yeah I mean uh I went down to
4:24
San Diego trained a little bit with some
4:26
you know some some or right people I
4:28
guess they were pretty cool did you
4:31
yeah they were they were kind of cool
4:32
but I don't want I don't want to like
4:33
get their heights any bigger than they
4:35
already are so you know that your
4:36
favorite who's your favorite oh well one
4:39
of one of them had an injury and didn't
4:41
really train with me that much
4:46
so Wass away right now so I can talking
4:50
mad [ __ ] you know uh San Diego is real
4:52
close to
4:53
Vegas we might have to roll up
4:56
there you down for round number two just
4:59
heck you while you're fight like she I
5:02
deserve it yes I deserve not be in shape
5:05
or anything but I I am heavy and I can
5:07
weigh you down I will use all of that
5:09
Phantom weight on
5:12
you what it's worth when it comes to
5:14
when it comes to the car caraoke on the
5:16
way to the fights je Jess definitely had
5:17
the win there yeah she was killing it
5:20
she was killing with the grease hits and
5:23
uh you know the Spice Girls and all that
5:26
stuff we didn't get Spice Girls Adam was
5:28
a party pooper
5:30
yeah I I yeah it's a shame he I think
5:35
that trip took a few years off of his
5:37
life to be
5:39
honest I feel like anytime Angela Trill
5:42
comes
5:43
out he he loses at least like one one
5:46
year of his life oh yeah Angel wasn't
5:49
there yet though I think that was good I
5:53
I'm like I don't think I blacked
5:55
out I don't think I would remember right
6:02
exactly s Adam um how's Hector doing
6:07
you're uh your new husband how's he
6:09
doing through fight Camp he's good I
6:12
haven't killed him yet you know he's uh
6:14
he's sticking sticking it through he
6:15
know it's like I'm lucky like obviously
6:18
he totally understands how everything
6:20
goes he understands the process he
6:22
understands the highs and the lows so
6:24
yeah it's uh it's great to have him
6:25
there to support me and you know to help
6:27
me out where I need it and like say
6:30
I get to punch him so it makes things
6:31
way
6:32
easier that's always fun right I love it
6:35
um but I do get a little jealous does
6:37
does Hector like train with you a lot as
6:41
more of a teammate or like a coach
6:43
figure he's more of like a teammate like
6:45
we'll train together like I like the
6:47
other day I grabbed him after class cuz
6:48
I wanted to do some grappling rounds and
6:50
like you know that there wasn't many
6:52
people hanging around afterward so I
6:53
just grabbed him I was like hey you and
6:55
I stuck the clock on he can't say no to
6:57
me so it's a it's like a guaranteed
6:59
training partner at least yeah that's
7:01
always nice guaranteed safe training
7:03
partner too yeah exactly because if he
7:06
hurts me he's he's the one that's got to
7:07
hear about it anyway so he's extra
7:09
careful but no it's I really like yours
7:12
in Adam's Dynamic so it's it's pretty
7:14
cool to like when I'm down there to see
7:15
you guys working together and everything
7:17
like it's like it's
7:19
inspiring a thanks yeah it can be rough
7:22
though because like when they're in the
7:24
Coach position I used to I always joke
7:26
with Jess like when she gets to do of
7:29
Adam I'm
7:31
like why you holding for that hoe or
7:36
like don't be giv her advice against me
7:39
you know like you're sparring and he has
7:41
to take care of other people so like
7:44
there's always that kind of selfish
7:46
selfishness I think that you have to put
7:48
aside when they're working with the team
7:50
a lot um do you ever get that like when
7:52
hack their Partners up with someone else
7:54
when he's Hur helping someone else with
7:56
their fights and stuff no not really um
8:00
you know I can see where you're coming
8:01
from though especially if you're
8:02
sparring with them like having them
8:03
coach against you would be pretty pretty
8:05
infuriating but uh no I've been pretty
8:07
fortunate there like uh he's he's pretty
8:10
good he's he's he's great yeah good
8:14
seems like a good guy he I'll keep him
8:16
for a while you know keep him around
8:19
yeah until you treat him in for a new
8:21
model I nearly took a third dog the
8:23
other day and he was like he was like we
8:25
haven't got room for a third dog and I
8:26
was like well I trade in my oldest one
8:30
hey there's always room for another dog
8:33
there's always room I'm just a sucker
8:35
for the Strays right now like when they
8:37
haven't go somewhere to go I'm just
8:39
like yeah oh absolutely I totally get
8:43
that and I totally support it you need
8:44
another
8:45
dog I need a bigger house that's what I
8:48
need I'm like the long-term goal is a
8:50
bigger house so I can home all of the
8:52
dogs right now it's too much stress I
8:54
love
8:56
it so I got to ask what is it like at
8:59
alha F male what's the atmosphere there
9:01
and what made you go to that gym
9:03
specifically yeah I uh I came out here
9:06
for the first time probing like 2016
9:09
just to try out the gym for a couple
9:10
weeks this was back when they were at
9:11
the old gym um I tried a bunch of
9:13
different gyms uh we did like a family
9:15
holiday where we just like tried out a
9:17
bunch of different gyms because we knew
9:18
eventually I would need somewhere to go
9:20
train uh because like the UK Talent P
9:22
for women is very small so I like team
9:26
alel just stylistically obviously they
9:27
had a lot of they had quite a few women
9:29
when I first came and then they had a
9:31
lot of small men too so it kind of just
9:34
you know was like the tiny team so it
9:35
made sense for me to really pick this as
9:38
my as my second home um obviously things
9:41
have changed a lot over the years but
9:42
I'm also a very loyal person so I've
9:44
been very lucky to have you know your's
9:46
invested a lot of time and effort into
9:47
me he's like really had my back
9:49
throughout this whole journey um as have
9:52
all the other coaches on the team so I
9:54
kind of just it's been cool to be a part
9:55
of the team and the dynamic and like see
9:57
the you know see the development of the
9:58
team
9:59
um but right now like the women's team's
10:01
really grow like we have Yan Macy
10:05
Marissa Tina black um you know we have
10:09
like a bunch of girls on the mat uh so
10:12
it's it's pretty good to have that team
10:14
growing and like say everyone's got
10:15
fights coming up so it's very
10:16
competitive and yeah it's like I love it
10:20
here that's awesome I C I always like
10:23
have this image of Coach Danny probably
10:25
just popping in and like something that
10:27
you can just like rip off really fast
10:29
fast and turn into party boy that's like
10:31
how I picture the training sessions just
10:33
like really weird and
10:36
chaotic yeah he definitely has that uh
10:39
yeah he's definitely got that in him
10:40
still especially on fight trips but uh
10:43
no it's kind of cool cuz like when I
10:44
first came like say it was very much
10:46
like that like the very stereotypical
10:47
Team Alpha Male Vibe and now they've all
10:48
kind of got like their families and
10:50
their kids and it's like it's pretty
10:52
cool to see the team has like grown and
10:54
I feel like it's a lot more mature
10:55
around here but obviously we're still
10:57
having fun and it's a very competitive
11:00
environment like I mentioned like you
11:01
know everyone's constantly like trying
11:03
to push each other and yeah it's
11:06
great um so being part of a a bigger gym
11:09
with so many big names um do you some of
11:12
the complaints from other Fighters at
11:14
bigger gyms if there's not enough you
11:16
know coaching or training to go around
11:18
kind of thing how does that gym compare
11:22
to that kind of mentality and um do you
11:25
feel like you get you know enough looks
11:27
and enough attention yeah definitely I
11:30
mean I could see that um that be an
11:32
issue for some people like I feel like a
11:33
couple people here have had like similar
11:35
complaints but I also think it very much
11:37
comes down to the individual you know
11:38
I'm a very low maintenance person like
11:40
like let's say the coach like this week
11:42
it's my it's the last my fight Camp my
11:44
coaches are in Miami for song and Yan
11:46
but I'm gonna get my striking with the
11:48
Striking coach like I'm training I'm
11:50
grabbing Partners pulling them in giving
11:52
me specific looks for the fight so I
11:53
feel like a lot of it comes down to also
11:55
like self- accountability like you
11:57
should be able to get your own work
11:58
around it like you say like coaches have
12:00
they're people too they have other
12:02
commitments they have lives and they
12:03
have you know like there's only so much
12:05
time in their day but I've I am also
12:07
aware that I'm one of the fortunate ones
12:09
like you say like if I need work fav's
12:11
there you know what I mean like I got I
12:12
get multiple sessions a week with Danny
12:14
um but I think that also comes with
12:16
being loyal to the team and like
12:17
sticking it through um like I feel like
12:20
if you invest in people they invest in
12:22
you so I've been very lucky to build a
12:25
good coaching team to where like I can
12:27
get you know I can get that work if I
12:29
need it but also I have that
12:31
Independence to get it for myself which
12:32
I feel like a lot of Fighters don't have
12:34
like they want to be like they want to
12:36
be handed they're not handed everything
12:37
like obviously it's it's a very hard
12:39
sport for everybody but they want to
12:40
they almost want to be like babysat
12:41
through it and like you know they always
12:43
want to coach there they want constant
12:44
attention like I'm not like that so I
12:47
feel like maybe that's also why I
12:49
haven't had those complaints and haven't
12:50
really felt that but as as I said like
12:53
I'm also fortunate enough to get the
12:54
attention from the
12:56
coaches well it's also really awesome
12:58
that you're allowed to cross train at
13:00
other gyms because I've heard that's
13:01
also an issue too or even just um
13:04
somebody feeling safe enough to Branch
13:06
out and go to other gyms because there
13:08
have been you know injuries that happen
13:11
when you're cross
13:12
trining yeah fortunately uh my rule of
13:15
thumb is if you're always injured you
13:16
can't get injured so I just you know I'm
13:19
not gonna get I'm not going to get hurt
13:20
anywhere I go because I'm always
13:22
hurt go but uh no they're very
13:25
supportive like if I if I say like I
13:27
need something like they they also trust
13:28
me like I kind of goes back to the
13:29
accountability thing like they know that
13:32
I can go somewhere and I'm going to work
13:34
my butt off whereas there's other
13:35
Fighters where they would worry about
13:36
them slacking or not training as hard
13:38
like I feel like I have that trust
13:39
Dynamic with my coaches to where like
13:41
like when I talked about going to San
13:42
Diego like youru I was like yeah cool
13:43
I'm not worried about you like I know
13:44
you're going to go get your work and
13:45
you're GNA like do what you need to do
13:47
you know what I mean and I feel like
13:49
that's one of the positives of like my
13:52
relationship with my coaches is that
13:54
they have that trust in me and I have
13:55
that trust in them like it goes both
13:56
ways um but yeah I'm also big on like
14:00
like if I if I feel I need like let's
14:01
say I wanted to come down train with you
14:03
and someone told me I shouldn't do it
14:04
I'm still going to do it because like
14:06
you know like it's my career it's my
14:08
future like it's you know I feel like
14:11
MMA is a selfish sport they say as much
14:13
as you need your team you also know
14:14
what's best for you in your development
14:17
um and like I say I think it comes down
14:19
to having like a bit of accountability
14:20
and also I just don't like people
14:21
telling me like who to be friends with
14:23
or who to train with or what to do like
14:25
I just we're
14:28
adults
14:30
well you're like a lot more mature than
14:33
most people your age I feel like
14:35
especially when it comes to Fighters
14:36
you're probably more mature than most
14:38
Fighters twice your age and um it's it's
14:42
kind of rare to see because a lot of
14:44
people they they look to other people to
14:48
tell them what to do to tell them how to
14:49
train I remember that was a big thing
14:51
when we were on tough um we were I was
14:55
on Gilbert melendez's team and there was
14:56
one point where everyone's just like
14:58
well what what do you want us to do and
15:00
they're like you're adults you're all
15:02
pro Fighters like you don't know what to
15:04
do yeah and I feel like that that would
15:07
be like an atmosphere where you would
15:09
thrive in where you just have your own
15:10
routine you figure out what you want to
15:12
work on and you do it have you always
15:14
been like that or was there like a
15:16
moment where you were like okay I think
15:17
I got this under control and I know what
15:20
I need from fight camps um and then you
15:23
just started doing your own thing yeah I
15:25
feel like I feel like I got a lot of
15:27
that from my coaching too uh like
15:29
actually had this conversation with
15:30
Uriah last Thursday I think it was like
15:32
I came in for the Striking Pro practice
15:34
like some of the combinations that we
15:35
were doing didn't really make sense for
15:37
my style my body type like the way that
15:39
I move so like I just kind of you know I
15:42
took parts of it and I just kind of made
15:44
it my own and started doing like my own
15:45
thing and your I came over and was like
15:46
that's exactly what everyone else needs
15:48
to be doing like everyone wants to sit
15:49
and complain that something doesn't work
15:50
for them it's like then make it work for
15:52
you or like take I feel like it's part
15:54
of being a professional fight is like
15:55
knowing what to take and what to leave
15:57
and but being receptive to all forms of
15:59
coaching and everything that's given to
16:01
you you know what I mean like some
16:02
stuff's not going to work for one person
16:03
but it works for the others and not
16:04
everything can be tailored specifically
16:06
to you and I feel like all my coaches
16:08
have had that same mentality so over the
16:10
years like say I've very much like
16:11
learned to just kind of learn to like
16:13
tailor stuff towards me or do my own
16:15
thing a little bit and have a little bit
16:17
of like adaptability within practices
16:19
and outside of
16:21
practices nice so um you are on record
16:27
for being was this the the first woman
16:30
in the UFC to get a v flu joke yeah
16:33
that's crazy so going in against a
16:35
submission artist does part of you just
16:38
want to show her like hey I'm the better
16:40
Grappler than you are or what are you
16:42
thinking going into this matchup yeah I
16:44
mean everyone's obviously like oh keep
16:46
it on the feet don't engage but also I
16:48
feel like you know a lot of Grapplers
16:51
they fight girls and then those girls
16:53
want to like say do the opposite because
16:54
they want to play to their strengths or
16:55
to the weaknesses of their opponent but
16:57
at the same time it's like my strength
16:58
is grappling too so it's like just
17:01
because she's good at grappling that
17:02
doesn't all of a sudden make me bad at
17:03
grappling you know what I mean so it's
17:05
like I'm not afraid to Grapple with her
17:07
obviously like I'm I've been working a
17:10
lot on my striking I have options with
17:11
the Striking um and if that proves
17:14
itself to be like the path to Victory
17:16
I'm going to keep it there but at the
17:17
same time I'm not like I'm not afraid to
17:20
go to the ground with her because as as
17:22
you said like I'm confident in my own
17:24
grappling skill also yeah in your last
17:28
fight your girl almost begged you not to
17:31
go to the ground with you can you tell
17:33
us about that whole moment with uh
17:35
shayenne vmus was it yeah uh yeah I was
17:40
like on the cage with Cheyenne like I
17:42
think I shot a double broke through some
17:44
strikes reot and then she just goes come
17:46
on let's just let's just strike that's
17:49
what everybody wants let's just strike
17:50
and I'm like I'm like well you're
17:52
basically just asking the opposite like
17:54
that's like yeah you might as well just
17:55
be like oh I can't beat you so like can
17:58
can you just like go to where I'm comfy
18:00
like I was like I don't know I it was
18:02
stupid it did make me laugh though
18:03
because I kind of knew she was gonna do
18:04
something like that so I just kind of
18:05
laughed I was like
18:07
no did you actually is there a video of
18:11
that I think I just laughed I like I'm
18:13
pretty sure I just laughed there there
18:14
is a clip where you can like see she's
18:16
talking but I remember I think they
18:18
changed the angle on it but yeah I think
18:20
it was I think it was the second round
18:22
because I remember just laughing to
18:23
myself because we knew she was going to
18:25
do that because she talks a little bit
18:26
and it fights so like going out there I
18:29
think was Hector was like oh if you're
18:31
like out grappling Her Like She's gonna
18:33
she's going to try to like bait you into
18:35
getting into a fist fight and he's like
18:36
just don't and I was like yeah I got it
18:38
so it did make me laugh when she said it
18:41
I think the commentators heard it
18:43
because I was just like scrolling
18:45
through your last fight and I feel like
18:47
they mentioned it like in the third
18:49
round that oh she's begging her to
18:51
strike with her and now they're on the
18:54
ground yeah she said it before we
18:56
touched gloves too so she said it while
18:57
she was against the cage then as we're
18:59
about to come out for the third she was
19:00
like let's strike and I was just like M
19:04
nope like I was saying before I was like
19:09
I if you heard me I don't know if you
19:11
heard me
19:13
but's I'm I'm like sorry sorry
19:16
disappoint yeah it was quite F I think
19:18
that's the first time I've had like an
19:19
opponent really like talk to me so
19:21
that's why I was just kind of laughing
19:22
and shaking my head I was just like
19:24
desperation but I mean it was fun did it
19:29
work at all did it take you out of your
19:30
mindset for a split second or were you
19:33
just like oh this girl is stupid no if
19:37
anything it if anything it solidified it
19:40
like I was just like you know I was like
19:42
oh okay well I should definitely keep
19:44
doing what I'm doing then because
19:45
clearly you're you're bothered by it
19:47
it's kind of the same with the Von flu
19:48
like I was about to let it go and then
19:51
um grer call was yelling at her they
19:53
were like let go of the head let go of
19:54
the head and then like I was literally
19:56
going to let go of it CU I didn't think
19:57
I had it and I heard her start yelling
19:59
back at her Corner team and I was like
20:01
oh snap she's panicking and that's when
20:03
I actually finished it cuz like I was
20:05
going I was ready to let it go cuz like
20:07
I feel like it's quite a I have a low
20:09
success rate with that usually in
20:10
practice I've actually since getting in
20:12
the fight I've been hitting it regularly
20:14
in practice so I'm like okay cool it's
20:16
like my thing now I guess but um but
20:19
yeah like I was going to let it go and
20:20
abandon it and then I heard her yell
20:22
back at her Corner team about how like
20:23
she can't let it go and she's like
20:25
choking or whatever and I was like oh
20:26
cool I got it like so it is kind of
20:29
funny I feel like it doesn't snap me out
20:30
of it it almost like makes me double
20:32
down on it nice validifi everything that
20:37
you're doing so far yeah it's like oh
20:38
I'm doing it right cool nice
20:41
yeah um are there any other submissions
20:43
that you're dying to get in a fight that
20:45
you um been working on a lot in the
20:48
gym um nothing in particular I I love uh
20:53
I obviously not to be a stereotype for
20:55
Team Alpha but I do love Guillotines and
20:57
chokes and stuff
20:59
um couldn't get Angie with it though so
21:02
clearly that your little T-Rex arms were
21:06
so annoying your little baby reach arms
21:12
get around the neck so fast I was just
21:14
like
21:16
Ah that's I would love to see you hit a
21:18
guillotine because then I'd be really
21:20
proud of myself for not getting caught
21:21
in it okay perfect I I'll I'll remember
21:24
that one just for you but yeah I mean I
21:27
I wouldn't mind collecting some more
21:28
records so I'm like I don't know if
21:30
someone's hit like I'm trying to think
21:31
of some funky moves like maybe some
21:33
Twisters or something for the women I
21:34
don't know what what's been hit yet but
21:37
maybe we just keep adding to the records
21:39
yeah get like a absolutely I'm trying to
21:42
think what what's weird what's a weird
21:44
submission Jesse you would know what a
21:46
weird one that the one that I've always
21:49
wanted to get is a is a gogo
21:51
Plata the move that I I practice all the
21:55
time I I my body has wanted to do it
21:57
since I was a white belt
21:59
and so I do it all the time in training
22:01
and it's the one move that I'm just I'm
22:03
dying to get in a fight it would be
22:05
amazing I'm not quite built for that but
22:07
I really hope that I really hope that
22:09
you get that oh man I'll leave that one
22:12
for you we need a little arm move what's
22:14
a little arm move I'm like I can grab
22:17
next like that's pretty much all I've
22:18
got yeah she's got like that T-Rex grip
22:21
yeah any variation of like a five 10
22:24
finger like any variation would be
22:26
amazing the standing nice one you should
22:29
get a wrist lock too you go for a wrist
22:32
lock I swear do you think that would
22:33
work in MMA because of the like the
22:35
padding and the wraps in certain
22:38
positions it would I think in like a
22:39
guard position or even if you had
22:41
somebody like around the back and they
22:42
were trying to fight your neck off you
22:44
could like get it in some sneaky
22:47
positions okay I'll get to work on that
22:49
I've got 10 days to get it down that's
22:52
like once you start like getting them
22:54
you'll see them everywhere me and Jenna
22:56
always debate about that because I feel
22:58
like the the the tape and the padding
23:01
and the fact that like MMA fighters will
23:03
just fight through anything including
23:05
broken faces and hands and stuff we
23:08
always debate about whether wristlock
23:10
would work in MMA and I feel like it
23:12
wouldn't just because we're too Dum
23:14
there's one wristlock and it's from it's
23:17
when you're on top side control you can
23:20
like you can wrist lock um their far arm
23:24
when you're um when they push on the
23:26
shoulder like that one or that one or
23:29
even like lower if they're pushing at uh
23:32
if they're trying to like shrimp out and
23:33
push out their hip you can collect it
23:34
that way but yeah I feel like that would
23:36
be a good one for MMA okay perfect you
23:39
heard it here folks we're gonna wrist Lo
23:40
for
23:42
MMA you should drop the drop the
23:44

yeah yeah she's really fun to train with
25:41
super safe training partner but very
25:43
skilled very talented um I feel like
25:46
just her mindset is going to give her
25:48
really high ceiling in the sport because
25:50
she's starting in super young um she
25:53
knows what she wants out of it she knows
25:55
how to get it like it takes so long for
25:58
people to figure that out like it took
25:59
me forever to figure out like oh I
26:02
actually have some control over what I'm
26:05
learning and how I'm getting better and
26:08
it's cool to see young Fighters coming
