I've wanted to scrap with her for years now and it just never worked out for one reason or another. I'm also genuinely excited to be able to compete in Canada once again and in a female-owned organization at that! This is gonna be a fight you don't want to miss! As far as the fight itself goes - something inside me just clicked recently. I'm completely dialed in. I'm hungry. I'm very, very hungry.”
