Dana (White), gives me the opportunity to fight for the belt again! I was too humble to accept this fight with Amanda, tenth in the rank, so tough, but I want to fight for the belt Once again (…) when I caught it, I knew I couldn’t let go anymore and I kept pressing, that’s when I started to hear it make a noise and I imagined this was where it would end, and I pressed hard. The force wins the fight, yes, if not I have the strength there, the technique will not work – Jessica said, still in the octagon.
