“For me, it’s very real. I’m not the kind of person that will create drama, just because. I really say how I feel because that’s really honestly how I feel about it. I’m not sure if Ronda is the same. I think Ronda likes to say things and hype things. It’s not necessarily who she is away from the camera or the limelight. But I can assure you that mine is sincere and I really don’t care for Ronda… I just think that she has a certain element of a lack of respect. I think she just comes off as very self-entitled. I don’t feel she’s entirely earned her spot as the No. 1 contender. I don’t feel that she is the No. 1 contender necessarily in the 135-pound division. The rightful contender would be Sarah Kaufman at this point… I guess I’m just excited to go in there and show the world that if you’re putting your money on Ronda, that’s a good way to lose it… I want to frustrate her. I don’t want to give her anything to make her feel confident in the fight. I want her to start second-guessing herself.”
