UFC: Let’s start by talking about the fight itself. You’re on a win streak here in the UFC, and you’re looking to make some noise in your division. She’s been out a long time with an injury, and she’s going to be thirsty for a win. How do you see it all playing out on Sunday?
MD: I think she’s very dangerous. She’s had a lot of knockouts early in her career. I think she has no fear, so I think it’s going to be a really entertaining fight.
UFC: Every time I’ve spoken to one of your fellow TUF castmates, I’ve always mentioned that it seems like your season was one of the most drama-free, tight-knit seasons in the history of the show. Was it as positive and supportive as it appeared on the show?
MD: The house was amazing. We all got along great. The only sucky part was that you had to fight your friends. I mean, I fought three of them, and that was probably the hardest part.
UFC: Obviously you and your husband made history by being the first husband wife duo in the UFC. What’s it like not only to have that support in your own family, but to have an ascending career alongside your spouse?
MD: It’s been something we’ve always wanted to do. I started training the same time he started fighting, so we both started our pro careers together, and we both knew that we would be in the UFC eventually together.
