""It was an amazing experience to fight someone at that level, to test myself at that level. I couldn't be more proud to have done that. No matter how the fight was going, I just wanted to prove that I could stick in there for the whole 15 minutes and still try to come up with something.""
""Being in a cage with someone [like Ditcheva], I have to give myself that respect. I don't sometimes see myself at that level, but it's a reality check for me and I have to believe in that. I'm carrying that confidence into this [next] fight.""
""She's a great opponent, a UFC vet. It's such a great name for me to go up against and get a win over. I think styles make fights, and it's going to be great.""
