And I'm like eight and a half months pregnant with my son.

And I just knew I wanted to fight.

I knew I wanted to do it again.

And not because I wanted to just come back and win and,

One of the things is because I wanted an opportunity to do it the right way for once.

I had done it the hardest way possible and I'd still managed to become a world champion.

And I wanted to know what it would feel like if I could do it with synergy and work with myself.

And I wanted to really shake the hand of the woman who is the best version of me.

And I got to do that.

I got to do that.
