I don't think Cyborg has ever felt the aggressiveness and the power that I will bring to her.
I started training for MMA when I was 18 years old. My jujitsu coach told me, 'Amanda, you should try MMA.' Since that moment, I got in love with this sport and haven't stopped.
My uncle used to fight Vale Tudo, and my mother even cornered him in some of his fights.
I respect my opponents, I learned that from life. I used to think I would step in there, throw one punch and the other girl would go down and not get up again. Everytime I thought that, I lost.
I started my career with a loss, getting 'slapped' by life.
I've been doing everything people like to see: knock people out, and submissions, and go in there to fight.
If you want the belt, you have to go drive it through and try to get it like I did against Miesha Tate.
Ronda had her time and that buzz around her. She knows it has cooled down now. She knows she lost. That's the problem. She was undefeated for a long time and doesn't know how to deal with a loss now.
