Touching on that last fight just with this upcoming one being a rematch, was there anything from that first fight that Bec Rawlings where maybe it differed from your preconceived notions?

Did anything kind of stand out as different from your initial game plan you made or kind of just fell into place pretty fluidly, you’d say?

“I know she’s tough. Australians are tough as hell. They don’t stop coming no matter how much they’re getting punched in the face or getting hit. They just keep coming, I knew that she was tough. No, I mean it was everything that I thought. Every fight is tough (laughs). Every human is tough. Anybody that steps in there especially against me. You have to be extremely brave, and you have to have something inside you. Because I have a reputation and crazy fights that they have to look at and prepare their self mentally for.”

“So, if they can last the whole camp and then want to come back and do it again, I mean I know there’s something there. You’re tough mentally, physically. So, I mean I expected a tough girl, she was tough. She kept coming, I expect the same. I expect her to know a little bit, be more educated on me now. I’m prepared for that; I’m prepared for her too. I got to feel her, I got to be more familiarized with the person she is.”

Christine Ferea continued, “Her energy, her techniques, stuff like that. I know things are going to improve. She’s gonna (go) with things that she did well on, she’s going to capitalize on, Etc. So, I mean I think it’s going to be an even better fight than the first one. Even though it was cut short, we both are more aware of each other. So, it’s going to be (laughs) a little tougher on both of us.”
