On her performance...

"I feel good about it. I think it was pretty good for a first MMA fight. Obviously you go back and wish you would’ve done this and wish you would’ve done that, but it is a learning experience. I can’t wait to watch the tape and figure out what to work on from here."

On her next fight...

"I’m probably going to take a month off and just train hard and put more tools in the tool belt and try to set something up for probably a month from now. I don’t want to fight in a month, but set something up and have an 8 week training camp."

On Randy's departure from the UFC...

"I think people are looking for an excuse. They don’t want to look at the facts. They want to blame somebody and they can’t imagine that Randy is, I guess, crazy enough to leave on his own, but it’s just funny to me because I wanted to see him fight quite a few more fights. It took me a year to talk him into coming back out of retirement, so why would I want him to leave?"

On negative comments said about her...

"I actually never get on the computer and read any of that stuff. I only know about it when someone brings it up. None of that stuff affects me at all. Training and fighting is not easy, but what’s easy is sitting behind a keyboard stating your opinion when you’re not out there doing it yourself."

"I was training before I ever met Randy first off. I scheduled my first fight before Randy left the UFC so that doesn’t exactly hold water, but I guess the public knows more than I do."

"I think anybody out there, if Brett Favre’s wife or Joe Montana’s wife or anybody, their daughter or someone was to do anything, it’s going to catch media news. People are just interested and curious and the people that don’t have anything better to do are the ones that speak negative and state their opinion. It makes me feel sorry for them. I think there’s so much in this life to enjoy, so many exciting things out there to experience and that’s certainly what we do every day is challenge ourself to try and do things to occupy our mind. I think some of these people need to get off of their computers and try to experience life a little."
