My birthday was September 24th. I always enjoy my birthday! It’s an excuse to get together with friends. I reflect on my year and all that I’ve done. I had a great year being 38. I met the love of my life, Chris, and had many great experiences. Unfortunately, I lost most of my fights… That wasn’t so great. I always tried really hard and never slacked on preparation.<\/p>\n

I hated Fight Island. It was a memorable experience, though.<\/p>\n

I had two pro grappling matches.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed the experiences, except felt lousy that I lost the matches.<\/p>\n

I got to meet Chris’ entire family! I loved that. They are really good people. I really get along with his mom and sister.<\/p>\n

I also introduced Chris to most of MY family. Yay family. I got to see my cousin JoeJoe get married.<\/p>\n

I had knee surgery and recovered from that.
\nI became a dog-mom.
\nI bought a condo! Now I’m renting it out.
\nMy birthday was my weight-in day and Lorenzo sang to me and brought me cake. The UFC wished me Happy Bday, and I got treats from UFC staff. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nUnfortunately, I fought my fight and I couldn’t win.  I managed to catch my opponent Taila and pin her into the cage, but I couldn’t take her down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> She surprised me by taking me down, and jammed my head into the cage at a weird angle.  I couldn’t cut the angle to go for submissions, but I was able to get up eventually.  I really wanted submissions, but wasted time going for them.  Before I knew it, the fight was over and I had lost the decision.<\/p>\n

That really sucked. I was really frustrated because I couldn’t hear my corner. I know at the end of the day I’m alone in there and I felt very alone inside the cage.<\/p>\n

I’m grateful my coaches trained me and came with me, of course.<\/p>\n

oooh oooh I met Robbie Lawler!  So excited to be able to tell him that he inspired me to start fighting MMA!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chris had the idea to do the Attack on Titan salute for weigh-ins.  Good idea, my love!  Shinzo wo sasageyo!  I think I looked cool. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt’s been rough lately. I’m training again now, of course. It’s not fun, though.<\/p>\n

Halloween has been good so far. I had a little party at my place with some friends. I enjoyed dressing up. Yaaay friends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know when my next fight is yet. I want it to be booked … I dunno if I should be impatient or patient.  I want to get on with it, honestly. Things are chaotic right now in my fight life.<\/p>\n

One thing I do know.<\/p>\n

I’ve always wanted to have a KO on my record. I have submission wins, decision wins, and TKO wins. I want to knock somebody out. And I have one last chance…..<\/p>\n

I really enjoy being a UFC fighter.  It is literally my life goal to fight in the UFC!  It was never my original goal to be UFC champion, just to fight.  Remember, when I first started, women weren’t in the UFC!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMy next fight will be number 50 for me. It will be internationally recognized as number 45 (because officials don’t count TUF fights). I can’t wait to break the world record. I know Shinashi (44 fights) is thinking about fighting again, but if I can be selfish, I kinda hope she doesn’t?…I really want to be number one at something. lol<\/p>\n

This week is Chris’ and my one year anniversary! Whoohoo! It’s my first time to have a one year anniversary with somebody! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
