I feel in the past years it’s been evolving so much; you see more and more girls on the card and girls fighting for the belt with high level technique. Girls are savage and they always go in there and give their all. I feel it’s always exciting to see women and I’m excited to be a part of this journey as well. It’s an honor to represent women inside the Octagon.

I think the women’s divisions in all the weight classes have grown a ton. I think we’ve started to see a lot of development with those weight classes, a lot of new faces. The skill sets are getting a lot better. A lot of good things are to come for the female weight divisions and I’m excited to see what they can do.
You see Amanda Nunes she’s out there crushing the competition, Valentina Shevchenko, Zhang Weili, Rose Namajunas and a lot of pioneers like Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Ronda Rousey. They set the blueprint and the foundation for everyone and I think it’s going to be great for the future going forward.

All women, not only fighters, but all women in the world, we know how hard it is for us to achieve anything, because we know we must work twice as hard. But to all women in the world, I want to tell you something: we can do whatever we want to. Everything is possible.
I usually say in Brazil, if I want to sell popsicles in the street, if selling popsicles is my dream, I’ll be the best popsicle seller in the world, because that’s my dream. If I want to be a MMA athlete, you can trust me on this, I’ll be the best MMA athlete in the world Because everything is possible for those who believe. So, I’ll leave a message for all women: Believe. Work hard. Don’t just believe and wait, but work hard, because I’m sure we can do whatever. We are strong enough to take everything the world throws at us, we are very strong.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Zhang Weili they really showed out and showed what women’s MMA is really all about.
