“I was looking and thinking about all the nights I slept in dojos when I was a kid. I was tired and started crying. My coach asked what had happened and I replied: 'I love this mat so much!'. That's why I want to win, and that's why I'm better than all these girls”, said Ronda, in a chat with the press in Melbourne. “Do you think the Holly holm looks at a boxing ring and cries because she loves him so much? No,” she added.

Despite this, Ronda also acknowledged that the routine of a super champion and star can be stressful. “That's why I have some moments where I look at people and they're shouting my name and I stop and think, 'Who are you guys and why do you like me?'. It's a very suffocating thing. I'm doing my best to learn to enjoy this and I'm going to show how much I enjoy this affection by winning in the most fantastic way possible, to make them very happy to be there to see it”, she commented she.
