I became the first Brazilian women to win a UFC title. That is huge.
My greatest moment in my whole career is when I became the first non-Brazilian to win the Brazilian jiu-jitsu world championship. That was my greatest moment.
If no one knew that I was trans - let's say that I made it very, very far. Let's say I went to the UFC and became a UFC champion, even, won the belt title, took it home and no one ever knew - that would be great for me.
Coming into Bellator, I didn't want to slide into title contention just because I was in UFC. That wasn't fair to the other women. If I had to fight through all the women, I wanted to do that.
At first, I wanted to compete and win a world title because I knew I was supposed to win a world title. I felt it.
When you are a player, a footballer, or a manager of a great club like Chelsea, you must play to win. To win. To win the title. Or to fight and, at the end, to compete with the other teams to win the title and reach your targets.
At first, whenever I first got into the UFC, I was like, 'oh my God, I'm in the UFC.' When you come from where I came from, being in the UFC basically meant I was on top of the world.
I'm just really not even that huge of a UFC fan. If you go on my Instagram or Twitter, you will notice ... people that I've actually met and hung out with, you know, I'm not like a huge UFC guy.
Anyone in the UFC, that should be your goal, to get the UFC belt and to fight for that title.
I want to be the first British person to lift a UFC World Title.
When I won the World Title at 24 and became the youngest, I knew that was huge.
I don't think we can fully understand just how much pressure is on these fighters' shoulders once they win the UFC title. It's a grind just to get to the title fight. You're not earning a lot of money, and the sport takes a real toll on your body. And then once you get the belt, you've got an army of fighters coming for you right away.
I'm a giant UFC fan. Huge. I watch UFC all the time.
Rampage Jackson came to the UFC with a brain. He came to the UFC with a huge following from being in Asia with Pride. He was a personality before he came to the UFC. You don't see them putting marketing money behind him to blow him up.
I was really disappointed with the lack of respect from the UFC towards Brazilian athletes.
Coming back to the UFC was huge. I was ready for the spotlight for the first time.
After I failed to win the Most Valuable Player Award in 1960, I made up my mind I'd win the batting title in 1961 for the first time.
